Suggestions to Tutuaca Mountain School [ http://www.ecospace.cc/environment/tutuaca-mounatain-school.htm ]

Tutuaca Mountain School
Buildings: Use post and beam structures with straw bale outside curtain walls. See: http://www.strawbale.com/

Heating: Use trombe walls with water pipes embedded about one inch behind the wall surface. Run 50% glycol with water through the tubes to pickup the heat, then store the bioantifreeze in a huge, insulated vat to be parsed to the building's heat exchangers. Use radiant floor system for each room's heat source.

Fuel: Grow Chlorella vulgaris, extract the algal oil and either burn the oil directly in a waste oil boiler or refine the algal oil into biodiesel to run generators and fuel diesel cars and trucks. See: http://groups.google.com/group/india-usa-bioenergy?hl=en
