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 forwarding active sustainable reinvention of our world 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 reviewed the energy analysis details for the Solar Microgrid sizing and created all new imagery for the site. The images below share some of this work.

Dean Scholz (Architectural Designer) continued helping with the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) 4-dome cluster designs. This was week #253 of Dean’s work and he produced new renders of the the bathroom/kitchen dome, main bedroom dome, and children’s/guest dome. The top-left image is a final render of the children’s/guest dome.

Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 37th week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development. This week Daniela started off by reviewing all the newest comments. She then made some alteration to the placement of a couple paragraphs and downloaded all the resources that were linked in the Roadways and Parking Excel sheet. These resources were converted into pdfs, renamed, and then uploaded onto the dropbox. One resource was no longer showing up, so she searched for a credible document that stated the same information. Additionally, Daniela continued to take notes for the flexible pavement section, noting down which information she wanted to use for the narrative and then adding paragraphs to the narrative. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 18th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Diwei checked the dimensions of the 3D model against the CAD files. He updated some minor inaccurate dimensions of the model, validated that the previous layout is definitely not spacious enough for a standard straight wheelchair ramp, and designed a zig-zag wheelchair ramp to satisfy the required slope. Because of the existence of the zig-zag ramp, the left 200 inches width of the ramp for vehicles does not satisfy the minimum 240 inches width for the fire engine. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 16th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming first compared WTE solutions in different countries, including those in India, US, and China. He realized that situations (typically national conditions that cannot be shared/influenced between countries) in other countries are not applicable to the US, like the Clean Air Act, and small population density. Then, Ming suggested combining different small scale-waste management units into a medium one, so the WTE plant would become medium scale and more economically viable. There are several power generation solutions, including some using methane as feedstock, which can be made by syngas, so these solutions can become WTE solutions. But which solution is easier to combine and transform into WTE solutions will be the question next week. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Kivia Sugiarto (Sustainability Research Manager) completed her 8th week helping manage and complete the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Kivia reviewed the main document, looking out for any duplicates in the content as well as paraphrasing a lot of the content that was copied directly from the source. She finished reviewing the section on existing waste to energy technologies and will move forward to the next sections next week. See below for some pictures related to this.

Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) completed her 37th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Yuxi double checked the basement storage rack organization. She conducted a study on storage optimization and to avoid column obstruction. After the study, it was validated that the current CAD plan is the most optimized. Elevator doors were re-imported as there was a file overwriting issue and, with the wall thickness added to the current model, openings needed to be reflected onto the new outermost wall. SketchUp modeling included manually adding openings to the outer wall while remaining mindful of accurate dimensions. Pictures of some of this work are below.

She also searched for painting colors and added all those details on the Cost Analysis sheet. For this she picked the painting brand approved by One Community, Ecopaints. Jessica also updated the AutoCAD layout for room 2 according to the 3D model. She then added more details on the Cost Analysis sheet. For example, the square foot information for finishings for the bathroom, updated the visual of the sheet, to match with the room theme, and added the total cost on the top of the sheet. See below for some pictures of this work.

We also focused specifically on scrutinizing Kodiak Cake Mix for flapjacks and waffles, preparation of sweet potatoes, comparing olive, avocado, macadamia nut and coconut oils, and reviewing Mayo and Harvard research on coconut oil. This ultimately led to us removing it from the master cooking ingredient list. Pictures below relate to this.

Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 36th week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development. This week Daniela read and responded to all new comments on the Roadways document. She shifted the placement of some of the narrative on the live document in order for it to reflect the website. Daniela also made some edits to the narrative for the roadways cost analysis along with making final comparisons with the website. All information that needs to be updated was changed to blue so that all changes could be made more easily. Next, Daniela added a paragraph to the Flexible Pavement Design section for both the narrative regarding the AASHTO equation and the Preliminary Analysis. While doing this, she double checked equations with research to ensure that all the information she was providing was accurate. Then Daniela researched more on flexible pavement design in order to expand on the narrative. She found that the largest component of the design was the pavement width which she already wrote about. Daniela went on to research other aspects of Flexible Pavement Design and found documents on pavement widening and maintenance. This included reading through various documents and finding what information was useful. Once she found reliable sources, Daniela took notes on the information she plans to include in the narrative. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 17th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Diwei focused on the design of the septic tank. One 2,500 gallons septic tank with two chambers is used for each net-zero bathroom. Two septic tanks are set up independently. There are some advantages of applying a septic tank for each net-zero bathroom instead of two bathrooms sharing a single large septic tank. The total cost of two 2,500 gallons septic tanks is cheaper than the cost of a single 5,000 gallons septic tank. Two smaller septic tanks can also be placed in positions that are closer to the net-zero bathroom and a shorter convenient distance enhances the flow of wastewater. The ramp and the staircases between two net-zero bathrooms are designed in detail with consideration of vehicle passibility and wheelchair ramp requirements. However, the slope of the ramp cannot be designed to satisfy the maximum ramp for hand-propelled wheelchairs because of limited space. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 15th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming did literature reviews on the papers regarding waste-to-energy analysis in developing countries (typically India) and developed countries (typically Europe, Germany). They are all large scales, but Ming thinks he can use them for cost analysis for small scales. For example, for each cost like a capital cost of materials for a pyrolysis plant construction for feedstock of a wood type, the cost wont be affected by its scale (except cost of import maybe). For other costs though, they can be dependent on scale. So what Ming’s searching for are breakthrough points. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, Adaptable Solutions for Global Sustainability, One Community Weekly Progress Update #486

Lam (Dave) T. Nguyen (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 13th week of work. This week, Dave finished writing up the “Foundational Calculations” sections for all major structures of Phase I using the methodology within the Solar Sizing Sheets. In this content, he explained how he approached double checking, comparing and validating data by sorting energy demand by area and by item category with the visual aid of pie charts. With this method, Dave can easily determine which area in general, or which item in specific, needs to be taken into consideration for adjustment. In addition, he also started reviewing the tutorial to calculate the energy balance in One Community (SAM software). Pictures below are related to this work.

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We completed the review for the Master Recipe and 3-day Menu Block Doc for sections FWD, FWE, and FWF through page 53. We also provided two recipe options for inclusion, resolved some comments and added numerous others, assessed nutritional values of some ingredients and suggested eliminating some with low nutrient value. Then we updated the complete Master Ingredient List and created links to the Master Cost Analysis so it will automatically calculate the cost of any 3-day menu block and every ingredient within that block so we can use it for shopping. Pictures below relate to this.

Phu Nguyen (Software Developer) completed his 16th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Phu finished up #447, the field now can be input with any number except a negative one. If a negative number is added, it will change to positive. Also, Phu fixed the errors for saving those field to the database. Whenever an Admin updates any number, these numbers need to be saved somewhere before the admin hits the “Save Changes” button to send them to the database. This is so it does not have any delay/repetition when saving. He also fixed errors before merging #447. Yiyun suggested keeping only two decimals for those input fields, Phu has tried this before but it will break the logic. He also reviewed Ron’s PRs 477 and 476 and suggested some logic changes. The pictures below relate to this work.

Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 35th week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development. This week, Daniela primarily worked on comparing the live document and the website version of the Roadways, Walkways, Parking Lot, and Gutters report. Throughout this process, Daniela made comments when she saw that the versions did not match one another. She made sure that everything was color coded properly on the live document so that it was easier for other editors to know what needs to be updated. Daniela also made edits to the roadway excel sheet and added new images and narrative to the roadways report regarding the initial and maintenance costs. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 16th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Diwei found that a reinforced concrete water tank (RCC) could be an alternative solution for stormwater storage. The cost of constructing a reinforced concrete water tank is slightly less than using the Atlantis Flo-tank. Materials for constructing an RCC water tank are easily accessible worldwide. An overflow piping connecting the rooftop rainwater tank to the stormwater tank was designed with an air gap to prevent backflow. The size of a septic tank was also calculated based on the demands of toilet flushing, faucet use, and showering of 100 occupants. A 3,800 gallons septic tank is needed for a 1.5-day retention period, sludge removal per year, and an estimated 8 gallons of sludge accumulation per person per year. The design of drainage of the Earthbag Village for stormwater harvesting still needs more investigation. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 14th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming looked for examples of biomass gasification. Most of his time was spent on Energypedia and links, and reading papers on it. Examples of small scale biomass gasification were reviewed one by one. However, all of them are not applicable to our situation for three major reasons: feedstocks are too specific; products are more likely diesels or primary energy sources in developing countries (rather than electricity that can be made alternatively), and lacking key information (citation and valid links, costs analysis, which community utilized that system). Next week, Ming will search for a solution in a different way, by searching by feedstock type instead of system type. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.
