Download or read book 47 Years Living Off Grid written by Stephen L. Wood and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-03-17 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If living in a town or city you are dependent on their water, sewer, natural gas, electricity, and their street maintenance, but you pay a healthy price for these services. What happens when one of these services—or all of them—are interrupted? Are you prepared for even a few days of interruption? This little book may help and not cost a fortune to maintain a somewhat normal life when these outages occur. That being said, one must remember that the first fifty thousand or so years no one in the world had electric power and yet still seemed to flourish. Although I am not expert at anything, I have built and given information to many about living off-grid from my forty-seven years of doing so. The one thing I have learned is that money is the driving force for those that claim to be “experts,” but be careful of these ads, as most if not all have never lived off-grid and only know what they have been schooled on. That being said, there are a few that are really good; finding them is the problem. So, if you learn nothing else from this little book it will help to ask the right questions to help you find those few. I have tried to be honest because if you decide to build and live this lifestyle you will soon discover what I have written is fact not fiction, and only your lifestyle will determine how hard or easy it is to accomplish your goals. Although this is about living off-grid, it has some very good ideas and suggestions on how to build or buy on-grid systems in case you lose your power, that seems to occur about every storm, especially in the east and southern states. It has simple systems that you can install when you lose your electric power, water, or sewer, and it will make these outages tolerable and may even save a life.

Download or read book Off Grid Living written by Kevin Kirby and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are thinking about downloading this book, you're probably doing so for one of two reasons: 1. You're thinking about possibly living off the grid and are trying to determine whether it will be a good option for you, or 2. You already have decided that you will live off the grid and are looking for a guide on what you need to do. Or maybe you don't plan on going off grid but are still curious by the subject and looking to learn more. That's cool too!Regardless of what you personal reason for being here is, we should all be familiar with what living off the grid means. It means living on a power system separate from public utilities and the power grid, and being totally self-sufficient on your own food, water, and other resources rather than on stores. Why would someone want to live off the grid? There are three primary reasons or a combination of these reasons:- They want to live in a more remote area that doesn't have enough access to electricity and power - They want to be dependent on themselves in the event of a disaster or catastrophe - They simply enjoy being completely self-sufficient and living minimally Living off the grid does indeed present a number of key advantages; not being reliant on grocery stores for food or a utility company for electricity and water are just two of them. The personal fulfillment that you will feel is another. Many Americans have recognized these benefits and that is why there are currently nearly two hundred and fifty thousand homes in the United States that are either off grid or partially off grid. There's no reason to think that your current or next home couldn't be one of them. But of course, the only way that you can truly unlock the benefits of off grid living is if you do it right. And that's where this book comes in. This book is going to serve as a beginner's guide to the basics of off grid living. It is going to assume that that your knowledge of living off the grid is minimal and that you are looking to expand your knowledge of it to get an idea of the basics and what to expect. So I need to make clear: if you are an expert on living off the grid, this book probably isn't going to be for you. But if you are relatively new to the subject, then this book will be exactly what you are looking for. Specifically, this book is going to cover the following subjects in a step-by-step fashion:- Changes that you will need to make in your lifestyle before venturing off the grid- Choosing a suitable plot of land for your off grid home- How to power your home with solar or wind power- How to cultivate food for your off grid homestead (crops and livestock)- How to ensure that you have enough running water- Why you should consider becoming a part of an off grid community and how to do so- Final off grid living strategies for you to consider By the end of this book, you will have a clear understanding of what is required of you to live off the grid if this truly is something you want to pursue.

Download or read book ours Hyperlocalization of Architecture written by Andrew Michler and published by eVolo Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of contemporary environmental architecture has outstripped simple labels. A deeper pattern is emerging where the world's most innovative buildings are a response to place. They resolve the complex intertwining of the site, people and environment, providing a provocative observation of the future of architecture. By starting with the site these projects maximize the natural and cultural resources available and are humancentric. The book explores firsthand how Spain Wraps commercial buildings, Japan Condenses micro homes, and Australia Unfolds aggressive design solutions in a climate of extremes. Germany, Cascadia, Denmark, and Mexico are also featured. 30 selected projects provide the antidote to the legacy of the modernist movement of generic, technology-driven built environments. Illuminating and often surprising conversations with renowned architects on their work reveal the process and promise of hyperlocalized design which folds bold visions into low impact and unexpected buildings. Their contemporary wisdom of site responsive design offers an unprecedented insight into architecture's new place in a changing climate.

That's why the cultural question becomes interesting because at that point the culture can express itself in a creative way. It still has integrity because you're expressing yourself creatively within a context. Your solving for rich, local problems. All sustainability, like politics is local. It has to be." - William McDonough in [ours]
