Vision SAMUI Conditions • Energy Consumption increase drastically • Numbers of tourists expected over 1, 000 per year • Waste management problem • Energy Intensity of 18. 3 ktoe / thousand million Baht (2010) • More hotels, resorts and stores • Traffic and inefficient use LCMT Implementation IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPREHENSIVE LOW-CARBON DEVELOPMENT MEASURES - Re-planning Town structure to improve land use - Reduce energy consumption in commercial and residential buildings - Re-structuring transportation system to facilitate tourists and local traveling for fuel economic and introduction of E-vehicle - Enhance energy system (demand side and supply side management) - Enhance waste management system to reduce waste problem - Promote public environment and resources use awareness (Eco Lifestyle)

Vision Value Creation Social & Human Value Environment and Resources Value - Local culture and life-style well mixed with modern life-style (growing economy) - Natural resources well preserved and undamaged - Improve quality of life with ecolifestyle - Tourists satisfaction - Green environment enhancement (green products) Economic Value - Low carbon emission for; - High value of land economy q Hotels, resorts, schools, houses etc. - Investment attraction q Transports etc.

GIUS Concept Design Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) o Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) is a concept that integrates all utility services, which needed for a community (can be Community Node – CN) within one location o GIUS should be placed near the community o GIUS include electricity generation, city water production, waste water treatment and solid waste disposal o District cooling generation system could also be integrated within the GIUS Community Conceptual Design of Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) Mapping Energy Production and Consumption Water and Waste Management

Community Node Approach Nathon community Maenam community Chaweng community Lamai community

Low-Carbon Building Planning Green Hotels Green Stores+Green Services • Building Code • Near Zero Energy Building • Government Buildings • Commercial Buildings • Hospitals • Department Stores Measures • District cooling generation system could also be integrated within the GIUS • Sky light and LED for office application • Heat pumps • Building Automation System • Solar cooling • Rooftop solar cell or plantations

Renewable Energy Use and Untapped Energy Solar Power Biomass MSW Using Smart Grid for SAMUI as the Pilot Smart Grid Island. Wind Biogas Hydro Power Ocean Wave

Transportation Plans Improvement of Road Improvement of Public transportation For Residents • Public bus network • Improvement of bus terminal and bus stops 1. Road surface 2. By-pass roads 3. Increase road networking 4. Bicycle lane For Tourists 5. Improvement of • Airport & port access public bus network pedestrian road network • Improvement of transportation terminal • Information system for providing the 1. transportation and tourist attractions E-Car, E-bus, E-bike Introduction of low 2. Bike-sharing carbon vehicles and 3. Car-sharing Supply facilities 4. Charging station (For E-vehicle, Bio-fuel vehicle)

Environmental Plans Solid Waste Management Water Management and Reservoir Management Waste Water Management

ECO Lifestyle • Bike Lane, • Solar Street Light, • Use high efficiency appliances • Use low carbon products • Recycling material use

Supply Side Demand Side Town Structure Planning for Low-Carbon Development Area Energy Planning Electricity Generation (Cogeneration ) Energy Natural Gas Pipeline and Stations for NGV Smart Grid Electricity Generation from Solar Energy (Renewable Energy) Low Carbon Building Planning * Hotels & Resorts * Residential buildings * Schools, Stores etc. Transportation Planning Energy Efficiency - Community-Community - LED Fuel Switch for Vehicles (NGV) E-car E-bus Networking Development - Airport-Community - High efficiency Chiller Eco-Life Style - Hybrid Heat pump (Solar + Electric) Untapped Energy Use Planning -Development of walkable core areas - Solar Cell Incentive Program -Development of comfortable and greenery walk pass Awards Waste Heat recovery from incinerators Area Energy Management Walking Street and Park Subsidies District Cooling - Solar LED Street light Tax reduction Environment Plan Extraction of river power - Bike lane Materials Water Waste 3 R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) - 3 R Green Products – Energy Label, Carbon Label - Developed more reservoirs for fresh water - Waste to Energy from incinerators - Implement fresh water from sea water technology - Sorting waste Soft loans
