Stewarding Our One Shared Planet – One Community Weekly Progress Update #356

It seems we’ve reached the time where stewarding our one shared planet should be a top priority. One Community thinks the best way to help support this is modular and open source solutions for individual and large-scale implementation of sustainability. So we are creating free-shared tools, tutorials, and DIY resources for replicable and sustainable food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, and fulfilled living models.

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. This is the January 19th, 2020 edition (#356) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

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 stewarding our one shared planet 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 created the initial layout and content additions for the new “Wind Energy Infrastructure Cost Analysis” section on the Wind Energy Setup and Maintenance page. You can see some of this work in progress here and we’d say we’re about 70% complete with this section.

Oluyomi “Yomi” Sanyaolu (Technical Writer and Researcher) completed his 13th week with the team. This week Oluyomi continued with the trompe and ram pump implementation research. Oluyomi completed the design details and DIY tutorial for creating a mini-trompe system. This included a cost analysis for the simple DIY trompe of approximately $158 USD. Lastly, he researched and wrote the first draft explaining what a ram pump is and how it works. You can see some of this work here and we’d say this brings the trompe and ram pump research to about 60% complete.

And Shadi Kennedy (Artist and Graphic Designer) also completed his 76th week developing the Murphy bed instructions. This week he made the final edits needed to send this to the core team for final testing with 3D assembly. What you see here are some of the newer pages created as part of the final review and the list of everything needing to be reviewed/confirmed by the core team. We’d say this brings these assembly instructions to about 92% complete.

This week Ron Huang (Mechanical Engineer) continued with his 36th week developing and refining the Energy Modeling tutorial needed to achieve our LEED Platinum certification. This week Ron completed the baseline model using the revised occupancy loads and electrical heating for the hot tub and began updating the proposed model with the revised changes. You can see some of this work here and we’d say we’re now about 90% complete with the City Center energy analysis component.

And the core team continued developing the open source permaculture design content. This week’s focus was continued work on Step 2 of the Permaculture Case Study section, “Assess Site Through Observation And Research.” This week we began developing the base map and explaining the rollout process, along with how our 1-year of observation phase differs from that of typical permaculture implementations. You can see some of this behind-the-scenes work here.

Mohammad Almuzaial (Civil and Construction Engineer) also continued with his 9th week helping with the Aquapini/Walipini civil engineering details. This week he redesigned and remodeled the pond area to produce the following results:

  • Pond diameter is 24’ 8”
  • Pond water level is only 9” below level
  • The difference between stepped seating areas is about 10”
  • Paths width is 4’ 2”
  • Seating area fits 78 people (chairs) not including the ADA row
  • All paths and railings are according to codes and ADA requirements

You can see some of this work work-in-progress here and we’d say this brings this part of this component to 80% complete.

Ali Ghahremannezhad (Mechanical Engineer) additionally continued with his 7th week as a member of the team and working on the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Ali worked on the soil thermal properties for use in the first model for the climate battery. He also worked on the first 2D model of the climate battery to study the airflow inside the room and the pipes as well as the transfer between the pipes and the soil. For the first model simplifying assumptions are made for initial evaluation. More accurate assumptions will be considered later. Results show the fan is correctly functioning in the simulations and initiates the flow inside the climate battery. Also, the transfer of heat is correctly captioned at the interior of the pipe and the soil domains. You can see some of this behind-the-scenes work here.
