This week, Anjana Reddy Chittireddy (Architectural Designer) continued working on the Duplicable City Center external renders. This week she was focusing on the initial layout and design development of the front area landscape of the City Center project. She also worked on making corrections to the previous task, updating files as needed to ensure all revisions were incorporated and aligned with the project requirements. This open source Duplicable City Center project contributes to creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone. Explore the landscape visuals in the image below.

Ariana Virginia Gutierrez Doria Medina (Industrial Designer) continued working on the Duplicable City Center window and door framing by modifying the components and reassembling the 3D CAD window designs. With these modifications, the small gaps that could affect heat retention inside the structure were closed. She also updated the design of a stable support frame to securely hold the insulation material in place and improve the overall energy efficiency of the system. This open source Duplicable City Center project demonstrates creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone. See the presentation and research highlights below.

Ayushman Dutta (Mechanical Engineer) continued working on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering and DIY manufacturing. This week he worked on the assembly instructions and made formatting corrections to improve clarity. He continued working on the cutting sheet document and had a meeting with the team to discuss the current and next action items related to the cutting sheet. He made formatting changes to the assembly process document and refined the cutting sheet, updating formatting and assembly drawings. He continued correcting the assembly process document and integrated the manufacturing process document into the main file, making the required updates to finalize the documentation. This open source Duplicable City Center project demonstrates creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone. Review the connector analysis visuals below for more details.

Sandesh Kumawat (Mechanical Engineer) continued developing the City Center Eco-spa Designs. He did this by developing a hybrid structural thermal CAD model that combines a steel frame load path with cinder block walls and Rockwool insulation, moving the concept to a verifiable assembly. He defined the steel members (C-channel or rectangular tubing) to carry full water and occupant loads, integrated cinder blocks and semi-rigid mineral wool batts (targeting ≥ R-4.0/in) as a non-proprietary, DIY-replicable envelope, and modeled the interior shell contours. He began plumbing integration for VGB-compliant dual drains and positioned a variable-speed pump to align with Title 24 efficiency requirements, while standardizing mounting and access with Unistrut channel framing to minimize welding and simplify field adjustments. He also documented moisture control using a 6-mil polyethylene vapor barrier on the warm side of the rockwool insulation to preserve thermal performance. He reviewed the plumbing layout, heat-recovery manifold, FEA requirements on the steel frame to check the capacity for ~11,150 lb water load without yielding, and thermal analysis of the hybrid shell as part of the BOM analysis.

Dirgh Patel (Mechanical Engineer) continued assisting with the Climate Battery design updates. Dirgh focused on refining the greenhouse HVAC analysis report by expanding calculations, explanations, and formatting for clarity and technical accuracy. He began by developing calculations for the greenhouse’s external HVAC system using an energy balance approach, identifying heating, cooling, and ventilation requirements for different operating cases across all months. Dirgh then revised the report to improve explanation flow and added clear descriptions of equations so readers could follow the logic behind each step. Additional edits were made in the heating and cooling requirements section, where rules of thumb and practical guidance were included for different temperature scenarios. He inserted contextual explanations before equations and added supporting visuals and images for reference. Dirgh included explanations for each section, concept, and title, ensuring that all references and calculation photos were properly attached within the document. One Community’s open source mission is powerfully reflected in the Highest Good Food initiative, which is focused on creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone.

Ravi Kumar Sripathi (Software Engineer) continued developing the Highest Good Education software platform, enhancing features related to inventory tracking, recipe management, and food utilization. He implemented dashboard alerts for priority ingredients, such as recently harvested items with short shelf lives, to support timely use and reduce waste. Recipes containing these ingredients are now tagged and ranked higher in the “Best Match” sort. Ravi also added a servings input to each recipe page, enabling automatic evaluation of ingredient quantities as “available” or “insufficient” based on stock levels. When an ingredient is marked insufficient, a pop-up offers two options: “substitute” or “reorder.” The substitute option lets users select an alternative ingredient from available stock, while the reorder option links directly to the corresponding supplier through the master spreadsheet. He further integrated expiration tracking for onsite-harvested items to improve freshness visibility and began developing a dedicated “Food Bars” page to display ingredients and quantities currently used in open food bars, ensuring more accurate inventory tracking outside recipes. These updates improved both functionality and user experience, enhancing the One Community model of creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone. Below are images related to his work.

HIGHEST GOOD NETWORK PROGRESS

Highest Good Network® Application, improving city efficiency, creating the world we wantOne Community is creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone through open source Highest Good Network® software that is a web-based application for collaboration, time tracking, and objective data collection. The purpose of the Highest Good Network is to provide software for internal operations and external cooperation. It is being designed for global use in support of the different countries and communities replicating the One Community sustainable village models and related components.

This week, the core team tested HGN pull requests and confirmed 11 fixed PRs. This effort highlights One Community’s commitment to creating a sustainable world that benefits everyone.

The following items were not fixed: PR Review Team Analytics Dashboard – Create Routes (PR3838); displaying the “Contributors Report” (PR3958); HGN Questionnaire Dashboard – linking the survey form to gather data (PR4009); and updating the font color on the Reports page in Dark Mode (PR3948). The team also reviewed assigned badges for “Tester One” and logged 40 hours testing the “New Max” and “30 Hours in Week” badges. They communicated with a volunteer regarding issues in PR BM Dashboard – Change .css to .module.css in /BMDashboard/WeeklyProjectSummary/ActualVsPlannedCost (#3879 and #3885), investigated and documented the issue with the Total Construction Summary page for PR grouped_bar_graph_named_paid_labor_cost_frontend (#3420), and were unable to fully test Create Application/Job Posting Landing Page: Make improvements (PR3997) and Application/Job Posting Landing Page: Add What We Do section (#4030) due to missing data on the Main branch.
