As we pressed on to get more people who are interested, we also gave an opinion on things. An overview and what we look at doing. Throwing about ideas. Thou not all was captured, we have some here.------ Forwarded Message

Energizers,
Something I feel must be featured in the house.
Fuel prices are soaring. I was told by a lecturer when I took an environmental module sometime back, I don't know how true it is, that a third of consumer and commerce energy consumption in urban areas, ie cities, is used to cool buildings, that is air-conditioning.
How else can the building/room temperature be brought down? Currently, people are talking about green roofs but that applies to building. We will have that in sight, what other ways?
I'm sure this is a very relevant feature that visitors can learn and take home!

Team,
As Albert put it across, it is very heartening to see what is happening here. Let’s get the momentum going!
Albert is in charge of the operations end to get things started and building because he has been involved with YEP earlier and he’d be able to share his experience. It is almost like doing YEP project in Singapore. EXCEPT we need to do it nicer. It is not just for living, but also a show piece to people. To the youth. It must be looked at upon as something that is cool and unique that people would appreciate it and where possible, be able to provide information that “viewers” who come to this place can relate to themselves and make the change when they go back.
The target is this year December to have the prototype up and running. Time is short, but we can do it. :)
Do the research now and a meeting will be called upon. Perhaps a pre-action brief as well to set everyone in the operations end in tune. ;)
Let’s say somewhere mid September?
Cheerios!

Dear All,
Wonderful to see many hands up for this project! Very up-to-the-challenge! I'm sure you'll gain alot as you give!
The plan for the coming weeks shall go as below if everything is smooth:
1. Consolidation of green ideas/ technologies to incorporate into the house
2. Sketch plan of house to be out
3. Areas of responsibilities identified
4. Meet up of team to update goals and workplan.
This is just a very skeletal description and no datelines have been identified for each. Reason being, when ideas and people are put together, alot of drags can be expected. But once the plan is set, the train should start to choo-choo with our joint effort.
Meanwhile, based on your own concept of an eco-house, do input suggestions of how/what green ideas/technologies could possibly be incorporated. Everyone have a share in the eco-house, so of cos your idea should be given a chance to be featured.
P.S Those who do not wish to receive anymore emails regarding this project, pls email me to remove from you from the mail-to list. Those who have not voiced your commitment, you are welcomed to join at any stage of the project!
Thanks.
SmileUp!
