People Making a Difference – One Community Weekly Progress Update #60

We are a group of people making a difference. Our goal is to help others make a difference too. We are doing this through open source and free-sharing the path and the resources to make it easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough to spread Highest Good of All thinking and creation globally:

We also created 3-D terrain for the Aesthetic and Diversity-focused Zen Aquapini Design. This terrain will also be used for the earthbag village an other renders:

This last week the core team returned to working on the 3-D details for the earthbag village because we’ve needed to update the planting plan. Here is a collage of that work in progress:

We also dove deeper into exploring the options for heating the homes within the Earthbag Village in cooler climates and when focusing on our maximum affordability goals, 2-year plan for village completion, and working with a limited energy allowance. This chart shows the calculations we made to determine that the best approach will be:

  • Tapestry application for added R-value in the winter and easy removal for passive cooling in the summer
  • Electric blankets and backup space heaters with a specific energy ration for the coldest nights
  • Using the consensus process to agree upon and explore other heating and insulation options beyond this foundational strategy once we’ve built the first half of the village and lived in it though a full year of seasons.

In addition to this, the Duplicable City Center will be a constantly maintained environment for large-scale recreation and relaxation. Here are the calculations showing cost, labor, and BTU production comparisons.

This last week the core team began the initial heat calculations for this structure. The key determination we need to make is that heating this structure will be possible with 100% off-grid energy in an area where temperatures can reach as low as zero degrees Fahrenheit. Here’s a screenshot of the beginning of this process:
