Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is solutioneering our future including 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 last week the core team finished the initial outline of our open source water heating and cooling webpage sharing the details of our research into this crucial city creation element. This image is an overview of what we learned and the page we are finishing will share complete details of why a combination of a solar collector combined with the cost of a heat pump will more than pay for themselves in a fairly short time through electricity savings:

We also spoke with the county for the property where we’ll be building the 3-dome cluster for the crowdfunding campaign we are creating and began our detailed labor calculations for this build. Here is a snapshot of this work in progress that we will share in detail once we all agree it is complete:

Lastly, we’re getting closer and closer to finalizing the internet strategy that will be necessary to share everything we are creating. Connection options.

Solutioneering Internet

Solutioneering Internet

Listed from best to worst, the internet options for any location are:

  1. Physical connection of high-speed internet line (Fiber, Cable, T3, DSL)
  2. High-speed wireless internet service
  3. DIY wireless internet service (purchasing area/rights near property that can access high-speed physical connection and establish wireless point-to-point link onto property)
  4. Satellite internet connection

This simple list is the result of hours of research determining that the details of the first two options are really what an organization open source and free-sharing as much as we are will need. Here are the specifics of the two options:

  1. Physical data connection, options include:
    1. Buried cabling between buildings/zones (buried at least 1m down)
      1. Fiber optic cable (up to ~40 Gbps), around $0.75/ft
        1. Single-mode (20km+)
        2. Multi-mode (up to 300m)
      2. Coax cable (up to ~10 Gbps), up to 100m, around $0.15/ft
      3. Ethernet cable (up to ~1 GBps),  up to 75m, around $0.10/ft
    2. Wireless ‘Point-to-Point’/’Line-of-Sight’ connection system (up to ~1.4 Gbps), around $2000/connection, plus cost of tower and cable connections

The first option is 10-40x better and the option we are now seeking to confirm if a realistic implementation option exists for our remote location. Stay tuned as our research continues.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

duplicable city center, solution based thinking, One Community, SEGO Center, city hub, recreation center, eco center, sustainable living, ecological living, green living, eco-recreation, group laundry center, for The Highest Good of AllOne Community is solutioneering our future including 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 last week week Da Ku (Mechanical Engineer) finished the natural pool indoor/outdoor transition point redesign including a materials list and the video and design specifics you see here showing two plexiglass doors that will open. This two-door system creates an additional space in the middle to improve insulative properties and allow for easy cleaning of both sides of the plexiglass to keep them clean and easy to see through. Here is the best summary image and more images are on the natural pool page:
