It is not clear how the end-to-end process works. Also, understanding the requirements for proper care and maintenance would be helpful.

Its hard to imagine widespread acceptance of the concept described, but I believe that the potential value is large, and apparently well analyzed as the benefits per unit, if there was acceptance. It would be a better proposal with some sense that the target locations could be made acceptable. To suggest usable office space would be set side for growing algae doesn't sound possible - the other suggestions more likely to have a limited acceptance. The proposal requires a more compelling presentation of functional and acceptable design possibilities.

Dear Vramanu: Thank you again for submitting a proposal to our contest. This project is innovative and creative. While the idea is novel and potentially effective, we decided not to send this forward to the finals. Thank you again for submitting a proposal to the Urban Heat Island Contest! Sincerely, Jen
