Ecologically Addressing Society – One Community Weekly Progress Update #355

Ecologically addressing society is a necessary step if we are to address over-consumption patterns and create global sustainability. One Community is helping achieve this through an open source evolution of sustainability that combines enriching and more fulfilled living modelsopen source education options, and global stewardship practices with sustainable approaches to foodenergyhousingeconomics and more.

Here’s our project overview

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. This is the January 12th, 2020 edition (#355) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is ecologically addressing society through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

This week Oluyomi “Yomi” Sanyaolu (Technical Writer and Researcher) completed his 12th week with the team. This week Oluyomi continued with the trompe and ram pump implementation research. His focus this week was revising and simplifying his previous work so it is understandable to non-industry professionals and working on explaining a DIY version of a trompe using an excellent resource he found. You can see some of this work here and we’d say this brings the trompe and ram pump research to about 50% complete.

Dean Scholz (Architectural Designer) also continued helping with the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) 4-dome cluster designs. This week was week #176 of Dean’s work and the focus was finishing most of the remaining work for the railings on the stairway access and around the rooftop-patio. You can see some of this ongoing work here.

And Shadi Kennedy (Artist and Graphic Designer) also completed his 75th week developing the Murphy bed instructions. This week he printed out the complete instructions and made a list of all remaining edits needed. The picture below shows this list and a few screen captures of the walkthrough we did together to confirm everything. We’d say this brings these assembly instructions to about 90% complete.

This week Ron Huang (Mechanical Engineer) continued with his 35th week developing and refining the Energy Modeling tutorial needed to achieve our LEED Platinum certification. This week Ron revised the occupancy load in the baseline model and began analyzing the energy increase for using electrical heating for the hot tub. You can see some of this work and the preliminary results here and we’d say we’re now about 87% complete with the City Center energy analysis component.

This week the core team began updating the chickens open source page. This week we built the table of contents and updated all the formatting to include all the upcoming sections, rewrote the “Why Chickens” section, added a “Purchasing and Initial Care” section, added several videos we’ve researched and found helpful, and began updating the “Which Chickens” section. You can see some of this work here and we’d say we’re about 20% done with the completion of this page.

Related to this, the core team also continued the behind-the-scenes chickens research and organization of information. This week’s focus was assembling, revising, and combining into well-referenced paragraphs the notes we’ve taken on several of the best videos we could find (after hours of researching them) into the various sections that will make up the complete open source page. You can see some of this ongoing process here.

The core team also continued work on the open source chicken coop step-by-step building instructions on our behind-the-scenes google doc. We added the felt roof assembly steps and researched and added felt roof (row 6) and wood boards for door (row 42) into Chicken Coop Material List. With this, we’d say we’re now about 89% done.

Mohammad Almuzaial (Civil and Construction Engineer) also continued with his 8th week helping with the Aquapini/Walipini civil engineering details. This week Mohammad continued working on the new site design that addresses the issue of the gravity drainage to the central pool ending so low below grade. This week he came up with two different proposals that would create seating with ADA access around this area while still maintaining the gravity-fed design. You can see some of this work work-in-progress here and we’d say this brings this part of this component to 76% complete.

Ali Ghahremannezhad (Mechanical Engineer) also continued with his 6th week as a member of the team and working on the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Ali worked on thermal lag and the research that has been done by One Community so far about the thermal mass and thermal lag for climate batteries including the FEA analysis. He also worked on extending the research on soil temperature during the year. References for Ground Temperatures as a Function of Location, Season, and Depth were reviewed. Ali also worked on improving the 2D model for the climate battery. Dimensions were taken from the current Aquapini floor plan. Some effort was done to create a 2D model that can represent the average behavior of the 3D Aquapini structure and the initial mesh was improved to capture the boundary locations. You can see some of this work here.
