Steps For Building a Solar Structure
Review of concept to date:
- CEB walls
- Straw bale infill between 2 wall cavities
- House-integrated CEB stove
- Thermaclear or Solexx glazing
- Structure similar to
but solar cover extends from green roof - Greenspace
- Green roof
- Trellis for solar shade in summer
- Trellis is covered partly with roofing material with solar angle to allow for solar gain only in winter
- Rest of trellis will be growing grapes
- Composting Toilet
- CEB floor
- Side space covered for rooftop rainwater catchment and CEB water cistern
- Planter in front and sides - zone 0 plantings in planter
Steps
- Site prep - flatten site with front loader and blade
- Build blade
- Build LifeTrac II
- Build sawmill
- Building material prep
- Rollers
- Sawmilling in July
- Truss preparation
- Test stabilized bricks
- Test reject lime-cement bricks
- Air-powered water pump
Summary: May will be heavy equipment building time, and June-July will be shakedown of all the building equipment, techniques, water system and site prep, and production of materials (lumber, brick, mortar). August 1 - house is going up.
Uniqueness summary: LifeTrac II, Sawmill, Air powered water pump, CEB stove, CEB floor, OS blade, PowerCube II, CEB-Straw Bale hybrid
Timeline
- August 1-30 - Complete and deploy LifeTrac II
- August 1-30 - Build The Liberator, Power Cube II, Soil Pulverizer II
