ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is creating a template for environmental accounting 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 the core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team reviewed several aircrete videos to look for a more accurate foam density being used by Aircrete Harry, downloaded Domgaia’s new Aircrete 101 PDF, planned for the next weekly call with the aircrete team, and looked further into why we are still experiencing collapse. The same team member also addressed comments related to the net-zero bathroom rainwater catchment, solar energy demand, and roadways content.

Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 58th week, focusing now on the Net-zero Bathroom content. This week, Daniela solely focused on the Net-zero Bathroom Calculations google sheets. As there are numerous tabs within this document, Daniela reviewed calculations and analyzed values in order to ensure that they made sense to the reader.

As there were concepts Daniela had not seen in a while, as well as equations Daniela had never used, she researched to find outside information in order to comprehend the material better. In addition, Daniela left comments on the google sheets so that alterations could be made. Pictures below are related to this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) also completed his 17th week helping with web design, now focused on the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping page. Charles continued working on the glossary, adding the remaining terms to the glossary and setting anchor links and mouseover text to the corresponding terms in the body of the page.

Charles also cleaned up the nested ordered lists at the top of the Getting Started section. For some reason, the Roman numerals would not render properly, so a workaround was implemented. The pictures below share some of this developing work.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 16th week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy addressed all comments left by Julia on the narratives.

She researched and added existing plant examples for all solutions. For the spreadsheet, she added scores on all options and a ranking legend. Mercy also looked for pyrolysis options more suitable for communities of 50, 100, and 200 populations. Further discussion led to shifting the focus of recommendations from pyrolysis to incineration, so she started new research on incinerators and ways to make incineration more sustainable. See below for some pictures related to this work.

This week, Loza reviewed the net-zero bathroom spreadsheet by checking the calculation on structural design and load calculation for roof design using several references and standards. Roof design calculation detail and load calculation approach were reviewed using Eurocode and ACI standards just to check the methodologies.

Loza also reviewed the report Google document since there are more descriptions and assumptions made there for the design approaches. See below for some pictures related to this.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Assistant to Executive Director) completed her 16th week with the team. This week, Julia had a Zoom meeting with Jae to discuss various current and upcoming tasks. She checked on the “Waste to energy incinerators master” Spreadsheet (part of the Non-recyclables research) and resolved comments where feedback had been integrated.

Julia then began working on the “City Center Eco-laundry” Webpage completion task. She checked the Feedback PDF for the page and made sure that all comments had been integrated correctly.

Next, Julia began reading through the content of the “Eco-Laundry” webpage and the corresponding source Google Doc by Jinxi to familiarize herself with the integration and editing that this task requires. Julia continued by reviewing and edit content for grammar and spelling mistakes.

She also updated data as necessary, re-found and re-linked old resources, updated images and corrected various coding, captions, and linking mistakes, integrated the “old stuff” with the “new stuff”, and checked all of the web content with the source Google Doc as she worked. Finally, Julia backed up all of the linked resources from the content she had edited so far, uploading the back-up PDFs to her Dropbox. Pictures below are related to this work.

Ranran Zhang (Architectural Designer) completed her 5th week working on the updated video internal and external walkthrough for the Duplicable City Center. This week, Ranran focused on modifying the SketchUp model based on feedback from last week and designing the main entrance doors through suggestions provided by Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) .

She added elements of trees to the glass doors to make them more integrated with nature and to improve their aesthetics. As the SketchUp model was modified, the corresponding cad file also needed to be adjusted accordingly. For this reason, Ranran and Yuxi had a one-hour meeting to discuss the parts that needed to be modified and made the needed updates to the master file in AutoCAD.

She also updated the entryway grates in front of the Social Dome to include empty catchment spaces below them. See below for some pictures of this work.
