Alternative Energy
Sources
Our ultimate goal is to create a
living roof system that is 100% self
sufficient. Therefore, we will need
alternative energy sources such
as:
Solar panels
Energy producing
tiles
Wind turbines
Permeable flooring
Permeable flooring allows
accumulated water on the
ground travel below the flooring
tiles and be re-directed into a
rainwater collection bin.
Plant life
Various types of
flowers
Crape myrtles
Drought resistant
plants
Grass
Fly Ash
Fly ash (also called flue
ash) is the by-product of
coal burning power plants.
Adds strength to concrete
Reduces cost
Adds more water, heat
and chemical resistance.
Can be used in bricks
Reduces weight
Glass railings
Glass on glass railings
must be at a minimum
of 1/4 inch thick
Railing must be at a
minimum of 48 inches
tall
Glass must be either
single fully tempered
glass, laminated fully
tempered glass or heat
strengthened glass
Safety
Safety is our top priority. We will hire many different
types of engineers and other professionals to ensure our
preferred location or other suitable locations are, and
will remain a safe place to build. Once we are able to
start building, we will only allow professionals in, and
around the work site. we will also block off potentially
dangerous areas for the rest of the students in the
school. When we have a foundation set, have a railing
that meets all codes and regulations, and means of
egress it will be safe for students to take part in the
next step of the building process. We will make sure
students have proper supervision at all times when
working in the building site.
