Advancing the Standard of Living – One Community Weekly Progress Update #74

One Community is advancing the standard of living by providing a path for people to do-it-yourself create the standard of living that they want. We are developing this through an evolution of sustainability that is open sourcing all the necessary DIY plans and steps for living and collaboratively creating for The Highest Good of All:

This last week the core team began measuring and inventorying all the components of the Murphy bed furniture design for the earthbag village domes. What you see here is the first 25% of this process for the end cabinets that will then prepare us to create detailed wood and parts purchasing lists, building instructions, and then, as part of our upcoming crowdfunding campaign, complete finished examples, timelapse videos, and video construction tutorials. Here is a collage of what we’ve completed so far:

This last week the core team added another 30 seconds of scenes to the Duplicable City Center construction in 3-D video that showcases over 2 years of 3-D design work. Here it is with a series of additional still images acting as fillers at the end of the video to show the earlier development of this structure while we continue to work on the rest of the 3-D video components:

We also continued our exploration and analysis of heat pump efficiency and benefits. What you see here is a chart of the benefits of a specific heat pump we are evaluating when used in combination with a solar water heater, heat exchanger re-capturing heat from used shower water, or other method. It is comparing this to a tankless water heater. The bottom of this chart is the incoming water temperature using one of the pre-mentioned methods and the Coefficient of Performance on the left is how many more times the energy efficiency is of the heat pump versus the tankless water heater. Visit our open source sustainable water heating page for more explanation of this image:
