OA 012 The Dimetrodon’s Sail: Strategic Thermal Bridging and Decoupled Hydronics

Core Blueprints

The Dimetrodon’s Sail: Strategic Thermal Bridging and Decoupled Hydronics The Structural Parasite: Unintentional Thermal Bleed The modern construction industry bleeds money and energy through a catastrophic architectural oversight known as thermal bridging. Standard development practices routinely pour external concrete slabs, sidewalks, and patios directly against the primary foundation of the home. Because concrete and steel…

OA 013 zero energy house … pre heated, cooled air

Core Blueprints

Cooling it’s simple and cheap. If everything is sealed well (30/30/30 rule) then the hot air will try to escape in the upper part. By its movement in the lower part creates space. New air will be sucked in its place. Just put tubes in the earth or in the lake (not in the underground…

OA 014 zero energy house Shutters to save energy

Core Blueprints

An insulated shutter in front of acrylic sheets combined with the chimney effect works out the best. You want to protect the house from the heat in the summer. The same shutter will keep the heat within your home in the winter nights. Don’t just put a single layer of tin insulation. Insolate it well.…

OA 015 400 square meter zero energy house study

Core Blueprints

energy study We “built” a 400square meter, 2 story house in our programs. We chose an extremely thick insulation. Read about the chimney effect. The house is on wooden pylons to save up the heat gained from the Sun (30 30 30 rule). We used a big south facing glazing (acrylic sheets) to achieve a…

OA 016 Existing windows : houses | castles | old buildings.

Core Blueprints

houses | castles | old buildings Measure the size of the windows. Buy the acrylic sheets to double or triple the insulation. You can easily “stick” the acrylic sheets near your existing mineral glass. Use long magnets to close the doors. Old windows with double glazing will be easy to upgrade. Just open the inner…

OA 017 zero energy house acrylic negatives

Core Blueprints

Acrylic negatives. Everything has it flows and weaknesses. Check out acrylic sheets first. Think about your home. The place where you live now. Seriously, just stop for a second and think about your dream house. Think about your future bedroom, other rooms, living area. Think about the doors, furniture, clothes, curtains, carpets, TV, fancy equipment,…

OA 018 zero energy house | bathroom furniture

Core Blueprints

This type of walls in bathrooms and furniture is quite difficult to use because of the water vapors (in case of normal houses). In case you build your house after the ideas presented on this website than mold and extra heating bills won’t “occur”. Notice that working with primal materials like stone, wood, metal could…

OA 019 zero energy houses tesla battery

Core Blueprints

The weakest point of most zero energy houses is the energy storage. The battery is expensive. The electricity produced and stored onsite is, in most countries, more expensive than the energy from the city infrastructure. However we have good news. Solar panels are quite cheap.. and the zero energy buildings consume just a fraction compared…

OA 020 Zero energy house | papercrete

Core Blueprints

Papercrete is one of the best, if not the best affordable insulations ever invented. There are different recipes for it. The recipe depends on where you want to use it and how. The rule of thumb is generally that you can go to maximum 90% paper and 10% bounding material. This bounding material (the most…

OA 021 Zero energy house | Strawbale

Core Blueprints

With strawbale I have to admit I have a love hate relationship. It made top 3 on my list however most of the people use it wrong. Except it’s initial price and extraordinary insulating properties everything works against it. It’s one of the riskiest materials to use. Strowbale might rotten easily, molds, mice will live…

OA 022 walipini | aquaponics | aeroponics

Core Blueprints

Place of warmth. Walipini means “place of warmth”. In the Andes/Bolivia was quite popular to grow vegetables in these constructions. The main idea is simple. You dig a hole in earth and you cover it with glass, nylon or something similar. The sun will heat up the earth during daytime. In the nighttime: the accumulated…

OA 023 zero energy house | Arduino

Core Blueprints

Arduino and raspberry pi are small computers that cost roughly between 30-60$. There are similar products on the market but we won’t mention them here. When we mention Arduino in this website we mean this and similar products. You can attach various sensors, controllers and robotics to them. The sky is the limit. I have…

OA 024 zero energy house | green wall – hedge

Core Blueprints

Read this article first about security. Chose from the myriad of various sensors and plant a classy hedge. Smart hedge:) Just think about the cost. It will be 1000 times more secure. Seriously, the above-mentioned article first. The hedges maintenance would cost little in the long run. It might last hundreds of years and the…

OA 025 zero energy house | Shou Sugi Ban

Core Blueprints

Shou Sugi Ban is a technique to burn wood. Initially the Japanese used cedar. Cypress, pine, douglas fir, chestnut, oak is also popular alternatives. What’s the catch? After burning it …it will be “immune” of UV rays. Insects and mold won’t attack it. It’s like a desert. Nothing to eat there. I am trying to…

OA 026 zero energy house | rammed earth

Core Blueprints

Rammed Earth might look like the “ultimate luxury” however it’s made from earth. The Chinese wall was made from this material. Rammed earth resist thousands and thousands of years. It’s made from sand, gravel and clay. In the past they added stabilizers like lime and animal blood. Nowadays the most frequent stabilizers used are lime,…

OA 027 zero energy | gabion wall

Core Blueprints

Quite cheap to make … looks great and resist “time itself”. Read this article to make it cheaper (simplify things). Check the rock walls, the idea is the same. It’s a thermal battery.

OA 028 zero energy house | rock wall

Core Blueprints

Like gabion walls these are quite cheap to make and resist time. Read this article to make it cheaper (simplify things). It’s a thermal battery.

OA 029 organic farms | extreme climate

Core Blueprints

What about a sustainable farm? In the 80’s people didn’t “get” computers. Tv, radio dominated everything. Now they are dinosaurs. YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram is the new Abc, Cnn, Bbc. In the food industry it will happen the same. The new big thing: the Facebook, the Snapchat, the Pinterest will be meal-worms, crickets, bugs, fish, snails,…

OA 030 Azero energy house | hempcrete

Core Blueprints

Hempcrete is the future of building materials. In a few decades most will build with this material. Hempcrete is all natural and it’s quite strong. Hemp grows way faster than wood. It’s price will outcompete anything in the market. The only problem with is the fallowing. It’s to good. Resist time and it’s insulation properties…

Sovereign Logistics Framework: Bio-Stabilized Storage

Company Infrastructure & Timeline

Sovereign Logistics Framework: Bio-Stabilized Storage The Problem: Modern warehouse facilities are massive capital liabilities. Historically, human habitats and storage units have been constructed as inert, extractive models that rely on constant, linear inputs of external energy to maintain stasis. Traditional storage relies on thin-walled metal shells that are thermodynamic disasters—freezing in the winter and…
