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 making sustainability more accessible 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 continued our detail review of work and research completed to date on hydropower for the open source Hydro Energy Setup and Maintenance page. This week we watched a 3-part series on the potential of generating power using rainwater collected on a roof, continued to integrate our notes into the hydropower section, and gained a better understanding of potential, kinetic, mechanical, and electrical energies, as well as kW versus kWh. You can see some pictures of this research below.

Angela Mao (Sustainability Researcher) also completed her 10th week as a member of the team. This week Angela continued work on the Most Sustainable Lightbulbs and Light Bulb Companies by completing collection of her information on each of the 6 companies she selected. She has been researching specific light bulbs from each of the companies to see which are the best. She also completed another round or edits and requested additions for her plastic recycling tutorial. You can see some of this behind-the-scenes work below.

Pallavi Samaiya (Business Technology Analyst) also continued with her 6th week researching how to sustainably manage and process non-recyclable waste. This week Pallavi compared different recycling options and estimated them to arrive at her initial conclusion. Below are some pictures and we’d say this brings this tutorial to about 60% complete.

And Jose Luis Flores (Mechanical Engineer) joined the team and completed his 1st week helping finish the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Jose Luis began and completed the list of materials needed for the Net-Zero Bathroom. His research involved thoroughly studying the Net-Zero Bathroom final design and interior interface to determine what to record on the list. He also reviewed the material listed for the water barrel support beams and concurred the best material was structural wood. He dissected the Solidworks final design to gather the dimensions and the quantity of material used to build the structure, roof, water storage system, and plumbing. After finishing the list, he began converting the floor plan for the Net-Zero Bathroom structure from Solidworks to AutoCAD. You can see pictures of some of this work below.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

duplicable city center, open source city hub, laundry, dining, swimming pool, hot tub, kitchen, library, game roomOne Community is making sustainability more accessible through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

This week the core team continued our detailed review of the Duplicable City Center energy analysis needed for LEED Platinum certification and completion of the City Center open source HVAC design tutorial. This week we updated the dome wall construction values, updated and fixed windows to be triple panels, adjusted the indoor pool temperature based on our operation plans (58°F in winter, 78°F in summer, 75°F for the rest of year), adjusted the hot tub schedule and temperature based on our operation plans, and conducted research on the best basement door for drive-up access. You can see some of this work-in-progress below.

And the core team continued working on the Duplicable City Center structural engineering details. This week we assigned area loads to the integrated SAP model and conducted analysis for the entire model, including different load combinations. The analysis results show very high axial loads for the tentative locations of the fourth level columns. Therefore there is need to increase the number of columns connecting the second and fourth level. Further analysis can be done after the update of column locations and the integrated seismic analysis can be performed as well. You can see some of this work below.

Wen Zhang (Software Engineer) completed her 14th week as a volunteer working on the Highest Good Network software too. Wen is now using React Overlay to display the badge description on hover. With this, the description box covers the badge itself when the mouse hovers over the badge. If we would like to see both the image of the badge and its description at the same time, then the description might cover other badges, assuming the description box shows on the right of the image on hover. Mockups are coming to help us decide.

Adam Capdeville (Software Engineer) completed his 7th week working on the Highest Good Network software. Links are now grouped in one edit window, where the user/admin can add, edit & delete as they chose. Adam then began reworking the layout of the user’s profile to be more streamlined. He separated edit functionality into a secondary view of the user profile. This way the default view of the user profile is no longer cluttered with edit fields, and instead info is presented in a more concise way. Next week Adam will add in Projects & Team view and edit components. You can see some of Adam’s behind-the-scenes work below.
