  • Diamondiaal Compendium
    DIAMONDIAAL COMPENDIUM A circular community for the future (S)ACT-Group 1689 Alexander Boedijn Anne Tjallingii Anouk Stam Carlotta Meriggi Mona Regad Preface In this compendium, we put together a collection of detailed information about numerous sustainable technologies in relation to water, energy and food production. These sustainable technologies could be implemented in the future community Diamondiaal, in order to make it an off-grid and circular community. In this document, all working mechanism are explained, together with their advantages and disadvantages. Taking that information into account, we assessed how feasible the technologies would be for the community Diamondiaal by ranking them. This technical compendium could be of great help in the decision-making process of what technologies to implement in the community. Decisions that need to be taken in terms of technologies, are dependent on the priority setting: it is more important to create a circular community that is completely off the grid? Or is it more important to build the community together with all inhabitants and create a high level of solidarity? Both choices would also have consequences for the costs. There are several people and organisations we would like to thank. First of all, we would like to thank Amal Abbass-Saal, director of Inspiratie Inc. and founder of the future community Diamondiaal. Furthermore, we would like to thank Astrid Hendriksen, our connection between Wageningen University and Inspiratie Inc. Finally, we would like to thank Nora Sutton, who

After setting his alarm clock for 1 a.m. for all of those years, Kasell has finally decided to sleep in. Last month he hung up his microphone and retired from his newscaster responsibilities. A veteran broadcaster with a career spanning more than 50 years, Kasell became a part-time NPR newscaster in 1975, and joined the staff full-time in 1977. He did the first newscast of Morning Edition in 1979 and has been a fixture of the program ever since. To tens of thousands of NPR listeners, it was Kasell who broke the news of such gripping events as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001.

  • Earthship’ Based on Monitoring and Thermal Simulation
    Learning from ‘Earthship’ based on monitoring and thermal simulation Martin Freney, Veronica Soebarto and Terry Williamson University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia ABSTRACT: This paper describes research which investigates the thermal performance of Earthship, an autonomous, earth-sheltered housing concept that claims to require no active heating or cooling systems despite extreme climatic conditions. This research aims to test these claims through monitoring and thermal simulations. The study involves monitoring the indoor conditions in an Earthship home in New Mexico USA and uses the measured data to calibrate a computer model used to simulate the thermal performance of the home. A second part of the study compares Earthship thermal performance located in a temperate climate in Australia with that of buildings incorporating different wall construction materials such as strawbale, rammed earth, and brick veneer. Results from both of these studies substantiate the claims. The effect of including a greenhouse, earth-berm, and internal wall material is also explored and quantified. The paper will conclude with a discussion of the scope for reducing home energy use through the use of Earthship design principles and construction methods and the viability for building these houses in the Australian suburbs. Conference theme: Buildings and Energy Keywords: Earthship, thermal performance, monitoring, simulation INTRODUCTION The Earthship was developed by US architect Michael E Reynolds due to his concerns about the negative effects of conventional housing on the environment and on peoples’ health and wellbeing. He argued that reliance on centralised energy systems “give us acid rain, radioactive waste and powerlines lacing the earth” and that conventional housing is “non-functional” (Reynolds 1990) - and therefore dangerous - when centralised utilities for electricity, water, and sewage treatment are compromised as they often are by natural disasters.
