21 Evacuated Tube Collectors
climatelab.org “Heat pipe evacuated tube collectors contain a copper heat pipe, which is attached to an absorber plate, inside a vacuum sealed solar tube. The heat pipe is hollow and the space inside is also evacuated. Inside the heat pipe is a small quantity of liquid, such as alcohol or purified water plus special additives. The vacuum enables the liquid to boil at lower temperatures than it would at normal atmospheric pressure. When sunlight falls the surface of the absorber, the liquid in the heat tube quickly turns to hot vapor and rises to the top of the pipe. Water or glycol, flows through a manifold and picks up the heat. The fluid in the heat pipe condenses and flows back down the tube. This process continues, as long as the sun shines. “(greenterrafirma.com)

25 Complete Streets www.wsdot.wa.gov
Complete Streets & Main Street Highways In 2011, the Washington State Legislature tasked Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)  with outlining a proposed grant program to include a proposed project selection and ranking method, criteria to be considered, and a plan for soliciting proposals consistent with the Transportation Budget, Chapter 367, Section 310 (10), and Chapter 257, Laws of 2011 (ESHB 1071). WSDOT has worked with interested agencies and organizations through the summer and fall of 2011 to draft a grant program proposal. The program would improve conditions for all users on main street highways, city streets that also serve as state highways, as well as comparable locations on local streets.  This website provides information and supporting resources related to WSDOT's ongoing program development efforts.

26 Streets – Overlapping Jurisdictions (LA)
A regular Joe might think it's easy to change something on the very streets they walk on, but they would be mistaken. Before anything happens, a proposal and a plan has to go through multiple layers of bureaucracy, as graduate planning student Huma Husain's visual clearly shows above. During the recently held Urban Planning Capstone Presentations at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, Husain presented this revelatory infographic in answer to the question, "What is the institutional capacity for implementing Complete Streets in Los Angeles?" As you can see, the answer is: it can be done, but not without an uphill battle. The shared role of agencies in street design makes it difficult to institute change precisely because anyone who wants to change anything has to deal with so many people even on one small part of the road. Seeing this, one begins to have a renewed appreciation for the triumph of Sunset Triangle Plaza, LA's first street-to-plaza conversion, which "demanded a series of meetings between the departments of transportation, public works and highways and building and safety," not to mention the full support of City Planning Commission President Bill Roschen. It also gives one a sense of just how much it takes for advocates like Deborah Murphy, to introduce change in the city. (The Tangle of LA's Public Infrastructure Agencies 2012) la.curbed.com

27 Porous Pavers www.horsleywitten.com
Porous Pavement (Mass Low Impact Development Toolkit) Porous asphalt and pervious concrete appear to be the same as traditional asphalt or concrete pavement. However, they are mixed with a very low content of fine sand, so that they have 10%-25% void space and a runoff coefficient that is almost zero. Paving stones (aka unit pavers) are impermeable blocks made of brick, stone, or concrete, set on a prepared sand base. The joints between the blocks are filled with sand or stone dust to allow water to percolate downward. Runoff coefficients range from 0.1 – 0.7, depending on rainfall intensity, joint width, and materials. Some concrete paving stones have an open cell design to increase permeability. Grass pavers (aka turf blocks) are a type of open-cell unit paver in which the cells are filled with soil and planted with turf. The pavers, made of concrete or synthetic, distribute the weight of traffic and prevent compression of the underlying soil. Runoff coefficients are similar to grass, 0.15 to 0.6.
