Forwarding the Conscious Eco-uprising – One Community Weekly Progress Update #335

One Community is forwarding the conscious eco-uprising through open source and free-shared DIY models for radically sustainable living and self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities. It’s The Highest Good of All, peaceful, collaborative, cooperative, and designed to create a sustainable world within our lifetime.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

 Forwarding the Conscious Eco-uprising
One Community Progress Update #335

Here is the bullet-point list of this last week’s design and progress discussed in detail in the video above:

FORWARDING THE CONSCIOUS ECO-UPRISING INTRO: @0:34

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING: @6:40

• Consulted with an electrician and worked on creating the Murphy bed and Earthbag Village dome home electrical layouts in SketchUp 3D (see below)
• Michael Hagler created new icons that we’ve incorporated into the website (see below)
• Shadi Kennedy completed his 63rd week developing the Murphy bed instructions; focus was standardization of page layouts, part colors, labels, and other details for the table and benches instructions (see below)
• Bahy Ahmed completed his first week helping with the Earthbag Village 4-dome cluster roof designs; created a presentation outlining why he’d suggest adding colored polycarbonate entry points for natural light (see below)
• Bahy Ahmed incorporated version 1.0 of his ideas into the 4-dome cluster roof. These designs incorporate colorful natural lighting, an additional central dome ceiling option, and additional roofing around the entire perimeter to help with shading the windows and protecting the walls (see below)

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER: @8:12

• Yuqiao Zhang continued helping update the City Center AutoCAD and SketchUp files and designing the rainwater harvesting system; redesigned the Living Dome patio to maximize space and minimize the need for unique dome pieces, found a new pivot door for the cupola, and started working on fixing a mistake in the Living Dome floor height (see below)
• Ron Huang continued working on the Energy Modeling for our LEED Platinum certification and City Center open source HVAC design tutorial; continued fine tuning the new hydronic HVAC to reduce unmet hours by ramping up loads and running simulations to see how the thermal zones responded. Basement, Kitchen, & Dining still shown high unmet hours (see below)
• Sneha Dongre continued with her 21st week helping with the Duplicable City Center structural details; continued work on the sliding door entryway frames and correcting more AutoCAD irregularities found on the domes (see below)

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD: @9:50

• Continued development of the open source dams, lakes, and water-retention landscape design tutorial; did a final editing review that included fixing spelling and grammar errors, adding US customary units to the metric units listed, updating imagery, adding some additional videos, and changing the order of some of the content (see below)
• Continued the cost analysis details for the 100-chicken coop; started standardizing the formatting of our past work and adding pictures and purchasing links for all the materials (see below)

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION: @10:44

• With over 8 years of development invested in the Education for Life component, this part of One Community is now complete enough to no longer focus and report on it with weekly updates. That is, of course, until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students. Visit the Education section below for links to all the completed elements of this component and details on the final remaining action items for this area of One Community before moving onto the property and fully launching it.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY: @11:49

• Emilio Nájera continued with marketing team; worked on keyword research for “DIY Dam Design and Construction” landing page, explored options for the Google Accelerator Program to improve the overall performance of the current and future campaigns, and fixed a “non-compliance” issue with our Google Ads account (see below)
• Jin Hua helped fix several website errors Google identified, reviewed all of Emilio’s work, and helped create reports to demonstrate the positive results our campaign fine-tuning has produced (see below)
