Circular City

建立远程可重新定位的临时营地（RTC）的挑战与他们进入的环境一样多样化。RTC系统在历史上并不是以整体的方式运作的;它们是独立的部分，相互作用，形成一个运作的营地。. RTC是一个在偏远或紧急情况下提供住宿和设施的完整系统，因此必须能够提供能源和水冗余，以确保在这些情况下和恶劣环境条件下的可靠性和稳定性。这些营地是能源密集型的：柴油燃料和水被运送，可用的水必须被处理或饮用水被卡车运进来，还有固体废物和废水处理的挑战南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）绿色建筑技术（GBT）应用研究小组正在与圆形城市联盟合作，他们是三个国防部（DND）Pop-城市竞争奖，并前往第四轮。为了给竞争带来最好的解决方案，同时使他们的解决方案沿着商业化的道路前进，该财团寻求建立一个自给自足的能源和可重复使用的水（循环）RTC的现场原型。该联盟由三个合作伙伴代表，拥有四项技术。该项目旨在整合废物管理系统，孤岛微电网能源系统和水再利用系统，所有这些都取决于营地规模和20英尺ISO集装箱内的模块化。成功整合后，他们必须遵守严格的减少指标，而不会增加运营复杂性，从而抵消预期的好处。试点营地将在监测阶段运作，以便进行实时分析。这一原型的目的是改进综合系统的功能，减少对设施的投入和产出。

The challenges to building remote relocatable temporary camps (RTC) are as diverse as the environments they go into. RTC systems historically have not functioned in a holistic way; they are separate parts acting beside each other to make a functioning camp. . RTC's are an entire system that provide accommodation and facilities in remote or emergency situations, and thus must be able to provide energy and water redundancies to allow for reliability and stability in these situations and under harsh environmental conditions. These camps are energy intensive: diesel fuel and water are delivered, available water must be treated or potable water is trucked in, and then there are solid waste and wastewater disposal challenges The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Green Building Technologies (GBT) applied research group is collaborating with the Circular City Consortium who are successful recipients of three Department of National Defense (DND) Pop-Up city competition awards, and are headed to Round 4. To bring the best possible solution to the competition while moving their solution along the commercialization pathway, the consortium seeks to build a field prototype of their self-sufficient energy and reusable water (circular) RTC. The consortium is represented by three partners, with four technologies. The project seeks to integrate a waste management system, an islanded microgrid energy system, and a water reuse system, all scalable dependent on camp size and modular within 20-foot ISO shipping container. When successfully integrated they must adhere to stringent reduction metrics without adding operational complexity that would negate the intended benefits. The pilot camp will be functioning during the monitoring phase in order to conduct real-time analysis. The aim of this prototype is to improve the functionality of the integrated systems and to reduce inputs and outputs to the facility.
