Project ID: 142

Jan Steinman

Need

We need to have a temporary storage area for produce, so that harvest time is not so closely tied to market times.

Description

Envisioned is a simple straw bale structure of 10 square metres or less with an insulated floor, using some sort of solar-powered cooling, perhaps swamp cooling supplemented by absorption refrigeration.

Status

  • 2012-07-20 project proposed.

Goal or deliverable

A small super-insulated building in the west field that is solar cooled to about 10°C.

Timeline, schedule, or end date

time-related aspects of the project, which may include intermediate deadlines, dependencies, etc

Plan

generally, a numbered list of tasks, performed in order, that will together accomplish the project's goals or deliverables

  1. Seek funding from various sources.
  2. Building design and site layout.
  3. Prepare the foundation.
  4. Obtain straw bales.
  5. Assemble structure.
  6. Install Viesa swamp cooler.
  7. Install one or more camping refrigerators, temporarily powered by solar panels or even hydro.
  8. Design passive solar heat loop to power the camping refrigerators.
  9. Install passive solar heat loop.


Financial budget

how much money will be needed, possibly high-low bracketed and detailed, or a complete guess (try to indicate how firm a guess it is!)

This project requires funding. Agreeing to this request does not commit EcoReality to any funding. Balance sheet impact should be zero, as increased liability from shares issued will be balanced by the value added by the facility.

Cash outlay

Item Cost Note
Construction materials $1,000 .
Solar panels $800 .
Swamp cooler $1,200 on-hand
Two large camper refrigerators $1,100 can be difficult to find used at a reasonable price
Total $4,100 .


Confidence factor: ±50% largely due to wide variation in cost of used camping refrigerators

Class A shares

Up to 6,150 Class A Investment Shares issued for capital cash costs.
1,500 Class A Investment Shares to Jan for brand new Viesa swamp cooler, on-hand.

Labor budget

how many people are needed for how long, including specific people or specific skill-sets

32 hours: Jan: research, engineering, and design
400 hours: Jan and others: construction and installation

Confidence factor: ±50%

Class B shares

Up to 9,720 Class B Investment Shares issued for 648 hours of labour
