And completed sunlight calculations comparing the current Tropical Atrium design to a 50% glazing with insulating shutters design:

* Note: “Extra” denotes more than the amount of BTUs needed to keep the TA at temperature given perfect thermal mass and transfer at night. Thermal mass capacity needs to be the absolute value of the night BTUs needed.

Zdenek Jurik (P.E. Structural, Civil and Mechanical Engineer and founder of ABC Engineering) continued engineering on the Aquapini & Walipini roof design and has been able to safely reduce the roof beam sizes (and their associated costs) from 16″ to 12″:

David Sweet (Architect – DSweet.biz) completed a 3rd roof plan for the skylights – getting closer and closer to what we’ll actually be using:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesWe are creating sustainable global transformation 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:

Victor Herber (Mechanical Engineer) also made more huge progress on the vermiculture toilet engineering which you can see here. The plan now is a steel framework that will support aluminum trays 3′ wide by 7′ long. This will allow us to use the lighter (and much easier to remove and empty) aluminum trays while maintaining the needed structural integrity of the foundational tray system by using heavier steel:
