Maximizing Sustainability Opportunity – One Community Weekly Progress Update #92

Maximizing sustainability opportunity can be refined to three core components: ease of implementation, affordability, and attractiveness. One Community is simultaneously addressing these three components to facilitate a self-propagating sustainability model for The Highest Good of All:

This last week the core team spent most of our time looking at how heat will move in and around the earth surrounding the Tropical Atrium hot water tank. We’ve identified how much heat we can store it the thermal mass, now we’re focused on figuring out what the “sweet spot” is for insulation related to cost and labor along with where the insulation will be most effective. What you see here is that insulation directly below the tank is definitely beneficial, but these benefits decrease as you go deeper and nearer the perimeter. The question is how deep and wide is best when including the cost and labor associated with this too.
