TYPICAL BAMBOO SINGLE FAMILY HOME?
IF A BUILDING IS 100% BAMBOO, IT IS NOT TYPICALLY AGGREGATED IN TERMS OF SLABS, BUT RATHER CLUSTERS OF POLES. A FULLY BAMBOO SINGLE FAMILY HOME CONSISTS OF 50-60 POLES (IF LARGE SPECIES) BUT IS OFTEN COMBINED WITH SMALLER SPECIES (WITH MANY HUNDREDS OF POLES) AND OTHER BUILDING MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLT.
CAUTIOUS ESTIMATE: 100 BAMBOO STALKS/SINGLE FAMILY HOME
HOW MANY BAMBOO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES CAN YOU BUILD/YEAR WITH CROP SUPPORT OF A 50000 SQ FT GREENHOUSE OF EXCLUSIVELY BAMBOO? IT TAKES BAMBOO THREE YEARS TO FULLY GROW 10000 BAMBOO STALKS EVERY THREE YEARS/100 = 100 BAMBOO HOMES EVERY THREE YEARS 100/3 = 33 BAMBOO HOMES/YEAR
HOW MUCH TIMBER CAN A LARGE COMMERCIAL GREENHOUSE GROW PER YEAR?
500 TREES/ACRE
50000 FT^2 = 1.1 ACRES
500 X 1.1 = 550 TREES EVERY FIVE YEARS IF NO OTHER PLANTINGS
550/5 = 110 TREES/YEAR
HOW MUCH TIMBER IS IN A TYPICAL WOOD STICK FRAMING WALL/FLOOR PANEL?
FOR A 5’X9’ WALL/FLOOR AREA WITH SINGLE STUDS AT EACH END AND 16” STUD SPACING, ONE WOULD NEED 5 2X6 STUDS AT A FINISHED LENGTH OF 103.50” EACH AND TWO LUMBERS (GLULAM OR CLT) FOR THE TOP AND BOTTOM FRAMING FULL BIBLIOGRAPHY: REVIEW OF HOW MUCH COMPOST CAN YOU MAKE FROM ONE POUND OF WASTE?

HEAT FARMER DIVISION 2: HEAT FARMER DIVISION 2: MATERIALS PROCESSING & APPLICATION FOR BLOCKING HEAT (NON-MECHANICAL) INVOLVES THE ACQUIRING, MANUFACTURING, AND BUILDING OF THE BIOGENIC MATERIALS THAT RESULT FROM THE PROCESSES OUTLINED IN DIVISIONS 3 AND 4 AND APPLYING THEM AS WALL, FLOOR, AND LANDSCAPE TO LOWER TEMPERATURES IN BOTH ENCLOSED AND UNENCLOSED SETTINGS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. IT IS THE FACILITATION OF BIOGENIC MATERIALS AS HEAT-REDUCING BUILDING AND SITE ELEMENTS. IT ENCOMPASSES:
DISPERSING LIQUIFIED CO2 IN GREENHOUSES.

BIOMASS – AND ENCLOSURE IN GENERAL - ARE EFFECTIVE, PASSIVE WAYS TO MANAGE EXCESSIVE HEAT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. IN 2075, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE PASSIVE SYSTEMS HUMANS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS ARE NO LONGER THE SOLE INGREDIENT NECESSARY IN BLOCKING AND REDUCING HEAT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES – HENCE THE EFFORT IN DIVISION 4 TO REDUCE HEAT BY CAPTURING CO2 DIRECTLY FROM THE AIR. THAT SAID, ALTHOUGH PASSIVE HEAT-BLOCKING WITH BIOMASS AND SIMPLE ENCLOSURES CAN NO LONGER BE USED TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE HEAT ALONE, IT IS STILL AN IMPORTANT MECHANISM WE WILL HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL IN THE FUTURE, AS IT WILL STILL REDUCE HEAT TO A DEGREE, AND CAN ENGAGE SYMBIOTICALLY WITH PROCESSES SPURRED BY USAGE OF STORED, LIQUIFIED CO2 – NAMELY, USING LIQUIFIED CO2 AS AN INGREDIENT TO SPUR GREENHOUSE CULTIVATION, WHICH INCREASES THE CARBON EFFICIENCY AND AVAILABILITY OF BIOGENIC BUILDING MATERIALS, WHICH CAN THEN SERVE AS SECONDARY ELEMENTS IN MANAGING EXCESSIVE HEAT BY PASSIVELY BLOCKING AND ABSORBING HEAT IN BUILDING ASSEMBLIES.
