A
Thanks
director
lamb
appreciate
the
introduction,
my
name
is
Grand
Irv
and
I
serve
as
a
sustainability
manager
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
it
is
my
pleasure
to
introduce
our
first
presentation
today
the
cleantech
visions
for
a
new
Pittsburgh
economy.
This
team
was
led
by
dr.
Sylvia
boryczewski
from
Carnegie
Mellon
University
in
the
hind
school.
It
is
really
kind
of
an
initiative
that
was
led
from
an
earlier
round
table
that
we
hosted
in
the
summer
on
the
clean
technology
sector
in
Pittsburgh.
A
What
the
students
have
done
for
us
is
really
set
forth
a
foundation
with
regards
to
a
new
and
emerging
sector
in
Pittsburgh
with
regards
to
technologies
that
are
cleaning
and
improving
our
environment.
Everything
from
the
building
sector,
building
improvement.
Excuse
me:
Building,
Performance,
clean
energy
as
well
as
software
technologies
that
are
being
advanced
right
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
B
Good
afternoon
I'm
Mollie
Brennan,
this
is
kenny,
barry
and
we're
going
to
speak
about
clean
technology
in
pittsburgh.
First,
we're
going
to
introduce
our
team,
then
I'm
going
to
we're
going
to
talk
about
what
clean
technology
means
and
specifically
what
it
means
for
Pittsburgh.
Then
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
sector
here
and
our
recommendations
that
we
have
for
the
city.
So
we
had
a
six
person
team.
B
Two
of
our
other
team
members
are
here
today,
Meredith
in
the
back
and
Tristan,
and
our
faculty
advisor
is
Sylvia
over
here
and,
of
course,
we've
been
thankful
to
work
with
grant
on
this
project.
We
found
that
there
are
four
main
recommendations
that
we
have
for
the
city
after
our
research.
First,
we
we
recommend
that
the
city
sits
down
and
really
considers
what
kind
of
scope
they
want
to
have
on
clean
technology,
what
they
want
to
focus
on
how
big
they
want.
B
This
focus
to
be
second,
create
an
office
of
strategic
investment
which
we'll
talk
in
detail
about
all
these.
At
the
end
of
the
presentation.
Third
support
Pittsburgh,
clean
technology,
greenhouse
and
forth,
create
local
markets
here
in
Pittsburgh
to
create
more
demand
for
clean
technology
products
and
services.
Okay,
good.
C
Right
thanks
so
to
start
off,
one
of
the
first
things
that
we
did
early
on
in
the
semester
was
defining
what
clean
technology
really
was.
Other
cities
and
regions
have
different
definitions
that
fit
with
what
their
strengths
are
and
what
MIT,
what
makes
sense
for
their
region,
and
in
Pittsburgh
we
looked
for
first
at
a
bureau
of
labels,
Labor
Statistics
definition
OECD
and
the
Brookings
Institution
to
see
what
they
had.
C
What
sort
of
framework
they
laid
out
for
us,
and
essentially
all
those
definitions,
are
saying
the
same
thing
that
these
are
technologies
that
help
create
a
cleaner
environment
and
in
Pittsburgh
those
three
government
slide
by
slide
here.
So
the
first
one
is
water
technologies,
water
products
and
services,
and
those
are
essentially
technologies
that
create
improved
water,
quality
or
efficiency.
C
The
second
is
energy
efficient
building
technologies,
so
any
technology
used
in
building
new
or
retrofitted,
that
optimizes
energy
use,
and
the
third
is
renewable
energy
and
pollution
control
and
with
each
of
these
sub
sectors
of
clean
technology.
Here
in
Pittsburgh,
we
found
that
there's
an
existing
base
of
companies,
organizations
and
programs
in
place,
but
there
is
certainly
potential
for
better
coordination
between
these
between
these
stakeholders
in
these
sub
sectors
and
our
recommendations
help
address
those
so
now,
I'll
talk
about
the
research
and
methodologies
that
we
used
to
arrive
at
those
recommendations.
C
Here
in
Pittsburgh,
second,
was
seeing
what
was
written
about
in
literature
review
through
social
science
research
and
finally,
we
looked
at
three
cities
in
detail:
Milwaukee's,
Cincinnati
and
Portland
on
strategies
that
they
had
employed
and
seeing
which
of
those
were
transferable
to
Pittsburgh
and
those
are
reflected
in
the
recommendations
as
well,
and
our
framework
started
off.
It's
twofold
I'll
be
talking
about
our
supply
side,
recommendations
and
those
are
your
traditional
economic
development
strategies
and
then
the
demand
side
of
the
equation,
which
Molly
will
be
talking
about
at
the
end.
C
Some
of
those
are
a
little
bit
more
exciting
and
possibly
easier
to
implement
in
the
short
term
and
on
the
top,
the
traditional
economic
tilton
ones,
again:
firm
attraction,
expansion
and
creation.
How
can
what
is
the
world
public
policy
and
incentivizing
these
and
at
the
bottom?
What
sort
of
requirements
or
incentives
can
the
city
put
in
place
to
help
create
markets
for
these
products?
C
The
second
part
of
it
is
to
take
a
regional
perspective,
none
of
the
cities
that
we
looked
at
we're
successful,
unilateral
laterally
in
implementing
their
initiatives.
In
nearly
all
case,
there
are
they're
working
with
county
or
regional
stakeholders,
I
mean
in
many
cases
add
federal
partners
that
were
assisting
in
the
implementation
of
this
and
third
is
to
leverage
ongoing
initiatives
and
what
the
other
priorities
are
for
the
city
and
how
those
can
be
paired
with
a
sector
based
economic
development
strategy.
C
Our
second
recommendation,
so
the
second
and
third
recommendation
are
two
alternatives.
Organizational
recommendations
for
what
the
city
could
do
in
the
first
one
is
a
two
phase.
Scalable
sector
based
strategy
housed
within
the
mayor's
office
on
that
also
addresses
broader
gaps
and
Economic
Development
functions
within
the
city,
and
the
second
is
a
more
distinct
member
based
organization.
That's
coordinated
by
the
city,
but
not
operated
by
the
city
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
so
creating
an
office
of
strategic
investment.
C
Currently
there's
no
city
counterpart
to
regional
and
county
level.
Economic
development
functions.
But
the
city
has
recognized
a
need
for
this
and
creating
a
liaison
to
these
groups
within
the
URA.
But
more
could
be
done
and
key
responsibilities
within
this
would
be
ensuring
that
the
city
is
closely
connected
with
site
selectors,
the
county,
the
conference
and
the
state
on
going
the
extra
mile
that
sometimes
necessary
to
connect
business
attraction.
C
Decisions
with
the
city-
and
the
second
is
that
this
office
enables
gives,
gives
the
city
of
the
capacity
to
implement
cluster
based
strategies
like
clean
technology
and
a
part
of
this
is
being
able
to
assess
within
the
existing
industry
clusters,
meaning
the
water
economy
network,
the
green
building
Alliance
and
the
energy
alliance
of
Greater
Pittsburgh,
where
the
interest
is
and
some
key
responsibilities
within
this
would
be
branding
the
Pittsburgh
clean
technology.
Sub-Sector.
C
Whichever
one
shows
the
most
interest
and
a
key
part
of
this
as
well,
is
that
it's
scalable
to
include
other
cluster
based
strategies,
software
health
care,
whatever
it
might
be.
So
if
one
sub
sector
becomes
fading
or
if
new
ones
emerge
that
it
can
adapt
to
those.
And
finally,
it
gives
the
the
city
the
ability
to
create
and
see,
create
and
seek
investment
in
funding
opportunities.
Whether
it's
lobbying
state
and
federal
organizations
for
Pittsburgh,
which
a
lot
of
other
cities
have
been
successful
in
or
just
working
with.
C
C
Third,
advocating
for
cleantech
priorities
and
working
to
implement
some
of
the
demand
side,
recommendations
that
will
have
advocating
for
cleantech
or
sorry
marketing
the
clean
tech
cluster
I'm?
An
important
part
of
this
is
getting
stakeholders
together
to
be
using
the
same
branding
language
for
whatever
this
sub-sector
is
measuring
the
magnitude
and
progress
of
the
region's
clean
tech
cluster
through
an
industry
database
and
then
supporting
start-up
and
member
companies
through
consulting
and
accelerator
services
and
potentially
engaging
with
universities
for
innovation
challenges.
C
But
one
key
obstacle
with
an
organization
like
this
is
that
they
are
expensive.
Typically,
they
operate
with
an
annual
budget
in
excess
of
a
million
dollars,
and
most
of
these
successful
organizations
have
had
a
diversity
of
funding.
That's
been
available
to
them,
but
once
the
city
is
able
to
secure
that
funding,
it
seems
like
the
infrastructure
is
here
to
move
forward
with
a
greenhouse
thanks.
B
B
Second
idea
is
to
revamp
the
city's
RFP
procurement
and
a
choice
process.
So
this
is
two
ideas
in
11
idea
was
recently
implemented
in
Philadelphia
and
I.
Think
and
our
team
thinks
that
it's
a
good
idea
and
should
we
should
consider
it
here
and
that's
called
an
improvement
RFP.
So
they
say
we
have
a
social
problem
and
we
know
that
there
are
technologies
out
there
that
can
help
this
problem,
but
we
don't
necessarily
know
what
those
technologies
are
yet
so
we're
going
to
put
out
an
RFP
that
says
this
is
our
problem.
B
This
is
the
general
idea
of
what
we're
looking
for
and
then
see
what
kind
of
bids
you
get
back
and
go
from
there.
The
second
part
of
revamping
RFP
process
would
be
to
reconsider
the
characteristics
and
weights
or
importance
given
to
the
characteristics
when
choosing
which
contractor
to
go
with
so
right
now
the
city
heavily
ways
the
age
of
the
contractor
and
like
the
agent
experience
and
their
experience
working
with
the
city
in
the
past,
and
although
those
are
definitely
good
characteristics,
it
might
leave
out
newer,
innovative
companies
that
could
add
value
to
the
city.
B
Third
idea,
it
would
be
to
coordinate
some
kind
of
local
contractor
training
for
local
contractors
to
learn
about
the
newest
best
local
green
technologies.
So,
right
now
there
are
a
lot
of
resources
being
put
into
energy
efficiency
in
the
city,
either
through
auditing
programs
or
energy
efficiency,
loan
programs,
but
we're
missing
part
of
that
supply
chain
by
not
getting
those
local
contractors
in
on
this
because
they're,
the
ones
who
are
in
people's
homes
every
day,
they're
the
ones
wreck,
what
products
people
should
be
putting
in
their
homes.
B
We
think
the
city
should
require
utilities
to
share
aggregate
neighborhood
level,
data
on
water,
consumption
and
energy
consumption
on
a
regular
basis,
and
this
data
is
useful
for
two
main
reasons.
First,
like
I
said
there
are
a
lot
of
resources
being
put
into
energy
efficiency
efforts
and
if
we
know
where
people
are
using
the
most
energy
and
the
most
water,
those
resources
can
be
very
targeted
and
have
the
most
bang
for
the
buck
and
then,
second,
that
data
is
really
important
because
we
could
create
a
neighborhood
competition.
B
Five
demand
side
strategies,
but
overall,
our
recommendations
are
two
for
the
city
to
be
introspective
and
say
how
much
effort
do
we
want
to
put
into
focusing
on
clean
technology
how
much
resources
do
we
have
for
this
right
now
create
an
internal
office
of
strategic
investment
or
a
separate
industry,
membership
organization,
the
Pittsburgh,
clean
technology
greenhouse
and
then
also,
in
addition,
use
some
of
these
demand-side
ideas
to
create
local
markets
here.
Thank
you.
E
Hi
I'm
letran
de
Leonard,
the
deputy
chief
of
operations
and
administration
here
in
the
city
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
a
resource
for
you
anything.
You
need
contacts.
City
I
have
some
cards
here.
Our
deputy
director
and
director
of
public
works
are
also
here
we're
very
supportive
of
your
work.
So
let
me
know
if
you
need
anything
and
I
have
some
cards
I'll
leave
with
terror
or
Debra.
Thank
you.
D
F
Evaluation
of
which
did
you
go
any
further
in
terms
of
evaluation
about
which
parts
of
cleantech
might
be.
You
noted
that
some
other
municipalities
had
had
taken
a
particular
piece
of
cleantech
as
their
focus,
and
you
recommended
that
we
have
a
focus,
but
did
you
actually
go
to
the
next
stage
and
actually
think
about
what
area
of
cleantech
was
seemed
most
likely
for
Pittsburgh?
The.
C
Clean
energy
part
of
the
equation
seems
to
be
more
complex
than
the
other
two
interviews.
It
was
identified
several
times
that
it's
difficult
to
divorce,
clean
energy
from
a
broader
energy
strategy
that
their
voice
might
get
drowned
out
by
everything
else.
That's
going
on
Pittsburgh
region,
so
it
seems
like
that
sort
of
strategy
would
have
to
be
implemented
very
differently
than
would
I
building
technologies
or
water
economy
strategy.
D
F
This
is
a
lot
you
know.
I
know
that
from
a
health
perspective,
there's
in
terms
of
getting
that
neighborhood
aggregate
data
there's
privacy
concerns
which
limit
the
information
data
you
can
get
for
health,
I,
actually
don't
know
that
would
be
the
same.
Are
there
any
issues
like
that
to
the
best
of
your
knowledge,
piece
of
the
energy
demand
and
so
forth,
because
when
you
take
a
group
as
small
as
a
thousand,
is
there
any
question
about
privacy
for
energy
use
and
that
kind
of
stuff
not.
