Urban Planning For Dwelling Construction Has to Be Done with More Environmental Concerns With Engineered Designs, Here Are Some Thoughts On The Subject
When I lived in my last apartment in Montreal, I really thought about urban planning based on the street that I lived on with apartment complexes and a mini strip mall, the whole street had deteriorated badly and there was obvious miss management in the apartment buildings on the street. It was mentioned to me that the street was a $35 million reality investment and I know that it was owned by a numbered company at one point. Based on the street design and layout which when it was built, as it was top of the line apartments for expo '67 in Montreal, here is my proposal for decent living accommodations with planned recycling in the complex design as energy efficient building, as put together from an idea with being a 54 year old engineering technician having a vast array of engineering back ground under my belt.
High end low end complexes where rich help make affordable housing for poor
This the basics behind a modern building design that I have put together, I could write more but I more or less have been tool not to create any more heat or electricity due to the posting I made after this one on powering the planet. There is so much more that I could write, I do not know where to stop generating heat and electricity but I got to back off for now to let engineers catch up to me the Engineering Technician.
This is an apartment complex design I came up with to allow for affordable housing for the poor, the apartment complex is more or less divided into three sections, for example the west end of the building is low income consisting of rooms with kitchenettes and bathroom facility, 21/2 and 31/2 flats, the center section consists of 41/4 apartments with a left and right wing for high end rent and allowing for cheap low income dwelling at 41/2 size. The high end apartments on the east side of the building would consist of 51/2,61/2 and 71/2 flats.The difference in the high to low end apartments for rent is the kitchen cabinets and cupboard doors as an example, wooden door finish would be used. Floor trim painted a different colour to add to interior decorating as another example of making high apartment for rent. The apartment complex would be made wheel chair accessible and have X number of apartments ear marked for wheel chair bound occupants. There would also be a center meeting room for the tenant association so that proper maintenance of the structure is done along with the mandatory enhanced recycling program for each individual dwelling waste and waste water. A central elevator would be in the building for a three or four floor building to accommodate zoning codes for sunlight and not blocking it from areas of the residential location. The elevator system would have its own power supply and hand cranking system down in case of fire so that wheel chair bound occupants of the building can vacate on fire drills or emergency with fire department. I got the building laid out on paper at 100' x 200', three floors with a garage under the high end rental section with venting and gas sensors for hydrogen for having each car bay capable of charging electric cars. Renting the 39 apartments would bring in $250,000.00gross to the owner per year where municipal building tax has to be,wages and other incurred building expenses. For a building this size on needs a consulting Engineer at say $10,000, me the Engineering Technician $30,000, 0 a 3rd class steam and refrigeration technician $25,000 and a 4th class steam and refrigeration technician $20,000, that is $85,000 a year to basically run the building so one has to add a couple of floors. Then of course if one is generating electricity in the building one would need a qualified consulting electrical engineer and maintenance electricity personnel at say $85,000 a year.
Recycling dwelling waste and waste water
Every apartment has a built in recycling bin at the door where recycling bags are purchased from building. The recycling bin is a 5 ft bench at the door of the apartment with seven compartments for recycling which are marked for, glass, plastics & styrofoam, paper, metals, kitchen composting, fabrics, and unknown toxic waste. Above the built in recycling bench at the apartment door is a shoe and boot rack which is installed as part of the bench. Leading the way in this type of recycling, special recycling trucks would have to be built with seven compartments to handle the street's recycling program with a seven bin system on the street for pick up.
For the waste water system I have three sewage drain pipes and they are as follows, the kitchen sink will drain to a settling tank that hs the capacity for 117 sinks full of water per day and there are two settling tanks for the kitchen sink in the engineering space below the low income rent section of the building. That is 13 kitchen sinks per floor for 3 load of dishes per day for meals and there are three floors to the complex design I laid out on paper. Tank capacity is multiplied by 1.5% to allow for over flow. As dish washing water settles out in tank water would be pumped out to city sewage main. detergent levels in tank would be partly incinerated with raw sewage to produce steam in an incinerator boiler.
Flue gases will be more effectively trapped through a baffling system and a condensing system to trap moisture from burning urine and sewage so as not to over charge the Earth's atmosphere with flue gas steam, thus trying to control humidex for the excessive rains and snow. With the flew gas exhaust system incorporated into the flue gas condenser system there would be a sprinkler bath to absorb carbon dioxide, the water would be filtered some and recirculated to be pumped out of the building and transported to a carbon dioxide algae/green slim growing plant to create reusable energy from this latest technology. This could be done , but with my hospital lab I am going to pump my urine tank water with detergents through my stack sprinkler bath, we can grow blue green algae in this composition of water and the blue green algae eats urine, the blue green algae with be dried out in a steam dryer for a reusable energy source, to be burned. In the ash coil tube boiler I would also burn the kitchen waste slated for compost, I would dry it out in a Babcock Wilcock steam dryer,grind it up and burn it. The ash I could more than likely unload to the Mayor of Montreal's composting plant as an acidic agitator for composting to make soil.For the waste water system I have three sewage drain pipes and they are as follows, the kitchen sink will drain to a settling tank that hs the capacity for 117 sinks full of water per day and there are two settling tanks for the kitchen sink in the engineering space below the low income rent section of the building.

Tank capacity is multiplied by 1.5% to allow for over flow. As dish washing water settles out in tank water would be pumped out to city sewage main. detergent levels in tank would be partly incinerated with raw sewage to produce steam in an incinerator boiler.
The toilet has it own sewage drain pipe that is divided into two, through a flapper valve box and toilet lever mechanism. Urine and floor mopping detergents would go the one tank and the human waste of bowel excrement would go to another processing tank where raw sewage would be blended with methyl hydrate to burn in a boiler application to produce steam, over flow would go to city treatment plant via sewage main. The bath room sink and shower or bath would go directly to the sewage main for the municipal water treatment plant. It is impossible to handle all water but the idea is to take some of the load off municipal treatment plants and produce steam to create electricity for building lighting system and for winter heating purposes. Urine from that said tank would be burned with raw sewage and methyl hydrate solution for combustion. This takes urine out of the municipal treatment plant as much as possible along with residual medication from tenants that can be found in urine such as the woman's birth control pill. With a little experiment in the hospital with a urine sample jar, I filled it half full of water from my bathroom tap, then topped it up with a urine sample, and used the urine sample jar as a settling tank. Urine and water does not separate, it becomes a mixture, now over a cigarette discussion with a surgeon in the hospital smoke hut, I sent him back to work looking for urine in his surgical water. Word spreads fast around the hospital, they found traces of urine in surgical water, they are pissed and happy with our hospital smoke hut with me! Female tampons,Q-tips,cotton balls ,used kleenex basically bathroom fiber material and kitchen scott towels along with vacuum bags or paper bagged vacuum dust would be stock piled and burned in a solids incinerator to produce steam for x amount of burn time.
Kitchen Water Supply
I did a lot to process water and did specific gravity calculations around water I was filtering and recognize the need to improve drinking and cook water for apartment dwellers. For this reason I would separate the kitchen faucet from the water main for the toilet and showering etc. I would branch off my apartment water and filter it through a bank arrangement for the kitchen cold water supply. Under each kitchen faucet the secondary filtering would be installed for the cold water, it would be up to the tenant to buy filters off me the landlord as required. They would be advised to brush their teeth with the filtered cold water system as well.It would be too expensive to filter all the water for human use in a complex but as a landlord I would try my best for kitchen cold water supply. Most city water mains around the world are rusting out and the rust ends up coming out our faucets.
Heating and Air Conditioning
I thought a lot about building heating and cooling systems through being around them doing maintenance as an individual working on a team learning my engineering over the years. For my apartment building complex I figured to go gycol heating and cooling through steam generators and standard building chillers by using a gycol tank and a heating and cooling tube style exchangers, with a valve manifold system. Two standard building chillers would be installed having there own walled space in the sub complex engineering space. Then there would be three steam generators, one natural gas fired coil type boiler, one ash pit coil type boiler to burn building waste. Then there is a fire tube boiler to burn the raw sewage and urine through using methyl hydrate to assist in the combustion process. The steam generator section is a building extension at the corner of the complex where the boiler room dimensions are around 35' x20' to allow for vent heat uptakes and charging steam temperature with flue gases, thus preventing over heating of 1st floor dwelling by latent boiler heat from firing process. The 4th class watch keeper and maintenance technician would be expected to room in the !1/2 flat above steam section of engineering space. Heated gycol in winter would be pumped through standard finned heat exchangers in apartments while during summer months I would pump chilled gycol through them to maintain a cooler building temperature during summer months.
