Part 1 answers these questions from our recent Earth Day survey:

0:00 Intro
0:36 When do we start building?
0:44 What are the milestones for this project?
4:01 Where are you sourcing materials from? Are they primarily local?
5:14 What is you fire preparedness architecture?
6:39 Are you going to be fire safe landscaping?
6:56 For landscaping, is there a focus on mitigating the impact of hard-scape on the temperatures in our outdoor spaces?
8:23 How is your water use being addressed in the new facility?

We will have a part 2 next week with more of your questions answered:

Will there be solar panels installed in the
parking lot? Will solar be installed to run the kitchen
and building facilities?

Will your stoves be electric? Are you investing in
induction cooking equipment?

What innovative ideas for capturing waste energy
such as heat from an oven have you already thought
about?

Is this just solar power, or multiple sources that
will be generating the power? Are you planning to
have PG&E for a backup source?

How long of a power outage could you endure?

Will you be using passive solar, gray water and
batteries for outages?

I’m concerned about the impact of ‘spent’ batteries
on the environment. What can you say about that
and the batteries will be used in this facility?

What else do you think we should know?
