Global Eco-collaborative Movement – One Community Weekly Progress Update #397

One Community sees a global eco-collaborative movement as the pathway to a sustainable world that will benefit all people and life on this planet. We are supporting this with the open source and free-shared plans necessary to build a global cooperative of teacher/demonstration hubs to help others build even more teacher demonstration hubs so everyone interested in joining the movement will have a way to do so.

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 a global eco-collaborative movement 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 continued review and development of our behind-the-scenes Earthbag Village construction tutorials. This week we further edited the Footer Foundation and Flooring doc sections covering Center Point Establishment and Excavation, and they are now complete through page 38. The French drain surface gutter was eliminated and the amount of work space on the exterior of the domes was also reduced. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Alvaro Hernández (Open Source Tech Consultant, Developer) completed his 30th week as a member of the team and began working on the Best Small and Large-scale Community Plastic Recycling, Repurposing, and Reuse Options tutorial. He started the week by addressing comments related to web editions for previous pages he’s created, updated the Website/Web Page Reviewing Checklist with them, and then started working on the plastic recycling article.

He began doing normal review, advanced a little bit, but then realized he was intrigued about the actual content, so he decided to read it through and improve the article. This time he went through the majority of the content and links commenting where there could be room for improvement. In the following weeks he is planing to continue plastic research and implement these improvements. Below are pictures of some of his work, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Jose Luis Flores (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 14th week helping finish the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Jose Luis researched alternative materials for the Net-Zero Bathroom’s roof. He found 4 options which included a non-toxic wood sealant for a wooden roof, galvanized steel, galvalume, and aluminum sheeting. Wood was omitted due to issues with sustainability and flammability.

Galvanized steel was cost effective and durable, but had a tendency to leach zinc. It was a close race between galvalume and aluminum, but galvalume came out on top by costing 50% less with greater durability and having similar anti corrosive properties. After researching and finding vendors that supply galvalume sheeting he updated the cost analysis and material list to include galvalume in the roofing material section. With galvalume selected he began updating the AutoCAD roof plan to coincide with the material list. Trim molding, butyl tape, and fasteners are options for attaching and sealing the sheets. Pictures are below for this work, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 13th week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week she began working on the back side and interior construction of the main wall. The spacing and placement of electrical outlets has led to many questions because those additional changes were made after the first instruction documents were made and laid out.

Now we are going through and making sure that all the outlets are in the correct place and visuals are added to represent those placements and measurements. We think that the wall section is almost complete and we will be able to incorporate the electrical work to the instructions soon. Pictures below show this extensive work-in-progress, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

This week the core team began work on the Transition Kitchen final updates and assembly instructions. This week we finished placement of all foundation concrete posts (corner, roof support, inside and outside perimeter posts). We also researched joist spacing placement (24″ OC) and designed them in the SketchUp model. We updated the foundation for entry/exit sides too, then we began work on flooring options using OSB /plywood and 2″x6″ boards. Pictures of this work are below, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Daniela Lazarescu (Chef Adviser) also joined the team joined the team and completed her first week working on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week she added the first two weeks of recipes to the outline, using a new daily rotation scheme of rotating through the four staples. For each meal, the two variants (Omnivore and Vegan) have been described. There isn’t an explicit “Omnivore recipe day” or Vegan one, as all recipes have been chosen to be easily prepared in both ways.

The daily rotation of staples also means two consecutive meals are, for example, potato based. To keep the meals diverse and interesting, they are split over two days, i.e. first a dinner, second a lunch, so there is a night and a breakfast in the middle. In this way, a person will have almost forgotten their first potato meal when they see the second. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Jiayu Liang (Landscape Designer) completed her 5th week helping with the Aquapini & Walipini internal and external landscaping details. This week Jiayu updated the new version for the large production aquapini in photoshop. She balanced the production and sitting areas for participants. She also searched for some precedents for outdoor landscape design to come up with some new ideas and thoughts and finished the final rendering for outdoor landscape design in photoshop. Jiayu will begin the new journey in the next few weeks for making models, then she will establish the Lumion version. Some pictures of this work-in-progress are below, see how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Diana Gomez (Mechanical Engineer) also completed her 4th week helping continue the development of the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Diana solved for a new temperature for deltaR to test a possible solution. However, the roots to the polynomial were all imaginary, and real roots are needed for this case. Diana continued to adjust the code for the analytical solution and decided to change Ti which is the temperature of the soil as you go deeper into the earth. She found that the data analytical solution would match the data when the Ti was equal to the max temperature at that depth, which is incorrect.

Then, she plotted Temperature vs depth to check if the temperature reaches Ti as x reaches infinity but it reached a value greater than Ti. Diana was able to find the source of the problem and fixed her analytical solution. The analytical solution now accurately determines the temperature of a soil at different depths provided we have air temperature, wind velocity, and soil properties.Lastly, Diana analyzed the system on a berm and provided instructions on how to find the depth with the incline. You can see pictures of some of this work-in-progress below on how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Yiran “Lily” Chen (Sustainability Coordinator) completed her 3rd week helping continue the development of the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Lily kept working on researching the recommended length of tubes but finds out there is not an optimal value. It depends on other parameters to test out based on the analytical simulation for the most efficient value. Lily shifted her focus on the second factor which is the cost of tube through market research to test out the relationship between the cost of tube and the length of tube. You can see pictures related to this research below on how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Reyes Mendoza (Mechanical Engineering Student) also completed his 3rd week helping continue the development of the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Reyes focused on trying to create an analytical understanding on what distances would work best for the piping. So far he found out how to find the heat transfer rate between the pipes using distance between pipes, diameter of pipes, thermal conductivity of soil, and surface temperature of pipes. You can see below some pictures related to this work on how they relate to global eco-collaborative movement.

Experiential Social Change – One Community Weekly Progress Update #396

It’s time for experiential social change. Rather than tell people we need a sustainable planet, let’s provide an experience of living that is better than how most people are living right now because it is built on a foundation of sustainable principles. Let’s give people the experience of a better way of living, and open source and free-share the path to replicating it. One Community is doing this and we call it living and creating for “The Highest Good of All.”

This week Alvaro Hernández (Open Source Tech Consultant, Developer) completed his 29th week as a member of the team and finished the Best Small and Large-scale Community Glass Recycling, Repurposing, and Reuse Options tutorial and submitted it for final review. This included finishing text editing, adding final web images, and backing up all the resources from this article. He also created a GoogleDoc with suggestions for how this article could be improved by doing additional research.

After finishing that, he decided to continue his research on how to do the web page creation process even faster. Using Visual Studio Replace Rules has its limits because they cannot handle complex variables, can’t do other types of processing where code would be needed, nor image transformation or SEO related tasks. With this in mind, Alvaro read some Google Doc scripts and added on documentation to check if they could provide a better way. Below are pictures of some of his work, see how they relate to experiential social change.

Diana Gomez (Mechanical Engineer) also completed her 3rd week helping continue the development of the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Diana tested a new analytical solution that incorporated radiation and developed the MATLAB code. This method demonstrated potential to work for our system. Pictures below show the analytical solution has the same shape as that of the data collected by Scan Data.

After reading the article “Numerical Analysis for ground variation”, Diana understood that incorporation emissivity into the analytical solution would help decrease this difference in temperature. This led her to develop a new analytical solution that incorporated both solar radiation and emissivity. She developed the MATLAB code for this new solution and changed h, the heat convection coefficient, to be a function of velocity. Diana constructed a new analytical solution, to which she will find a new value for deltaR and compare this new analytical solution to the Scan data once more. You can see pictures of some of this work-in-progress below on how they relate to experiential social change.

Wen Zhang (Software Engineer) completed her 22nd week as a volunteer working on the Highest Good Network software. This week was basically a week of trial and error for Wen. The purpose was to test the badge images on small screens (browser on mobile phone and ipad as well). She did some research and figured out how to test UI on small screens, then ran the local server on her laptop, and tried to log in from her iPhone and iPad, both got “unexpected error”.

She could not log in even from another pc. She spent several hours debugging around the code base. As the login and auth related code were written by others, it was difficult for her to debug because she had to first read the code, understand what the code is doing, then find the place where something might be changed. Wen also tried a few solutions other developers posted online, but unfortunately none of them worked. Some pictures are below of this work, see how they relate to experiential social change.

Eco-renovating Our Collaborative Models – One Community Weekly Progress Update #395

Let’s talk about eco-renovating our collaborative models. Right now it seems most of society is founded more on competition than collaboration. What if we changed that focus to be cooperative instead, and built it on a foundation of logical sustainability for the benefit of all people and life on the planet? One Community is open sourcing and free sharing the necessary plans to do exactly this, and we’re designing it to be self-replicating.

Diana Gomez (Mechanical Engineer) also completed her 2nd week helping continue the development of the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Diana developed the MATLAB to calculate the temperature of the soil at different depths. According to the MATLAB code, there was a 10 degree temperature different from what was calculated at z = -40in and what was recorded in the SCAN data. There was a miscalculation on the handwritten portion and ignoring the radiation of the system had a much larger influence than first expected. Diana developed a new analytical solution that utilized the erfc function.

Radiation will be added to this and it should nicely convert to MATLAB code using the erfc function. She also researched the different types of soils in our area to obtain the proper soil properties for the new analytical solution. See below for pictures on how they relates to eco-renovating our collaborative models.

Wen Zhang (Software Engineer) completed her 21st week as a volunteer working on the Highest Good Network software. This week Wen has been working on the badge images, specifically the Dropbox URL issue. First she tried importing all the URLs into the Compass MongoBD, but that didn’t work. After that, she tried applying the DropBox links the core team created directly in the React component, but that didn’t work either.

Wen found that Dropbox has recently changed the way the files are shared, and they no longer support web hosting images the same way as before, so the URLs needed to be manipulated. The conclusion is that we need all the links created by the owner of the image file, and we then revise the URsL from there. This worked and some pictures are below of the results, see how they relates to eco-renovating our collaborative models.

Jose Luis Flores (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 11th week helping finish the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Jose Luis added more illustrations portraying the cutting of the corrugated roof panels along with their installation and assembly process. He included the location of the roof fasteners in the diagrams, while also keeping track of the quantity which was added to the cost analysis and material list. A few of the assembled roof panels were cut in the illustrations in order to accommodate the roof access.

A second layer, also known as the roof panel seals, was used in the plans to provide adequate sealing for the interior roof. This decision was made due to the geometry of the roof and the manner the panels were overlapping. The diagrams also depict how to install the top layer roof panels for a secure fit. The finished roof was then created using the assembled interior and exterior roofs, which included a top, bottom, and elevation view of the assembly. Pictures are below for this work, see how they relate to conscientious community creation.

Jiayu Liang (Landscape Designer) completed her 2nd week helping with the Aquapini & Walipini internal and external landscaping details. This week she focused on the large aquapini and zenpini structures. At first, she was thinking about how to create the new sitting areas and balance the existing production system. We’ve decided to eliminate the aquaponics from the center of this structure and just keeping the pond and water components along the North wall. Therefore, Jiayu adjusted the aquaponics area to include sitting areas.

She also created a new sitting area in the zenpini. Using curved lines and creating new creative pavements with new sitting benches together is very significant in the zenpini. She did drawings in rhino and AutoCAD, redrawing the base map for both the aquapini and zenpini. Some pictures of this work-in-progress are below, see how they relate to conscientious community creation.

Diana Gomez (Mechanical Engineer) also joined the team and completed her first week helping continue the development of the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Diana focused on finding a way to calculate the burial depth that satisfies these two conditions: difference in (t_surface-t_underground) >10 F & t_underground = constant through the year. Her first instinct was to extrapolate the data and as she did so she realized it would not be as accurate as using a model and solving the heat equation.

She was able to find a book from a professor from Oregon State that solves the heat equation and provides an example of a situation similar to ours. Below are her calculations using the data in the table located in her research. Now that she has verified that the models works for our system, she can write a script to find the temperature at different depths throughout the year.

Wen Zhang (Software Engineer) completed her 20th week as a volunteer working on the Highest Good Network software. This week Wen has been trying using the Dropbox to store the badge images. She researched this and tried a few different approaches. The Dropbox links won’t work (yet). If we decide to use Dropbox for image storage, each public image address has to be manually copied and the url link will be added to our own database. If we can get this to work, the url link won’t consume much of our data quota, which is great! Some pictures are below of this work-in-progress, see how they relate to conscientious community creation.

Jose Luis Flores (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 10th week helping finish the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. This week Jose Luis researched the installation process of corrugated steel roofs. He applied the information to illustrate the assembly and construction process of the Net-Zero Bathroom roof plan. He made detailed diagrams in AutoCAD illustrating how the panels will be cut and installed. The diagrams for the cutting of the panels also showed how to use the leftover panels to cut out other panels in order to minimize material usage.

He made diagrams for the exterior roof and interior roof installation, illustrating where the panels overlap and the separation distance of the fasteners. Double sided butyl tape on the edge of the overlapping areas was shown in the diagrams, their purpose is sealing. The cut roof panels were fastened to their respective roof frames in the illustrations too. Pictures are below for this work, you can see how they relate to widespread and lasting sustainability.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) also completed her 9th week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week’s focus was getting about ½ way through the Wall section group. The sketch of the wall is now consistent and the wood piece layout is updated and all pieces to scale. Stacey adjusted the key layout so that all pieces in first header are used in pages 3-12. There are some areas that again may require a screw longer than 3″ but overall only a few questions remain on the first part of the wall and frame design.

This brings us to the point we can start doing a preliminary sheet layout between the groups, which is needed because there are many points in the wall design that there could be more information on the components and electrical which will be done simultaneously in some areas. Pictures of some of this work are below, see how they relate to widespread and lasting sustainability.

Jingwei Jiang (Landscape Designer) also completed her 2nd week working on the landscaping specifics of the Earthbag Village. This week Jingwei went through the whole planting list and SketchUp library and developed a planting concept adjacent to the building footprint. Plant selection was based on their light conditions, drainage requirements, soil requirements, and drought tolerant conditions.

Landscape design adjacent to the building clusters was created with the intent to embrace the building forms and transform to follow the building footprints. In other words, the landscapes and buildings can share the same pattern and be cohesive in this pattern. With this in mind, Jingwei came up with the circular form of landscape around building clusters shown below. These patterns seem duplicatable, but they all have different choices of plants according to previous zoning of the gardens.

The radius of circles used include 15-ft, 25-ft and 35-ft. They extend from the center of circular buildings all the way to the edge of the paved areas. Ideally, the outer band will be planted with plants that can define edge condition; the middle band should be deciduous trees and fruit trees; and the inner band should be plants like cactus to avoid safety issues. Nitrogen fixers need to be specified in the list, because they are the pioneer of woodland communities. All plants should be native plants in this condition, because the site is located in a national park area and invasive species are not first choices.

Mario Strachan (Aerospace Engineer) completed his 3nd week working on the ground-based components of the City Center Water Catchment Design. This week he mainly focused on calculating various sizes of our pond at a constant depth to meet the volume requirements. He calculated the size of the pond based on a constant depth of 11ft. From his research an average pond has a depth between 8-12 ft so he decided on 11ft. If we were to go with a circular pond with a depth of 11 ft., the radius of the pond would have to be 22 ft.

If a rectangular shaped pond were to be considered, at a depth of 11 ft he would choose a width of 45 ft and length of about 45 ft. From his research the average person uses about 85 gallons of water a day. By multiplying that by the maximum number of people the City Center can hold, we get the total greywater usage of 3409.09 cubic ft. He then added that to the total rainwater to get the total volume needed for the pond. Pictures from the related spreadsheets are below, see how they relate to widespread and lasting sustainability.
