Hot Sunday afternoon, 24 Sept. well, it's better than raining.. It's tiem to get our hands on whatever was left over from the defunct NUS ecohouse. Our main interest was only the PV panel.The whole bunch of stuff was left for so long, we felt bad intruding on the termite colony infesting some of the stuffs. At the end of 2 hours and damaging Pauline's multimeter, we now know that the PV panels are working at better then optimum output! Producing some 20V through the ends of the panel!

Discussion that followed the sweating..
Our discussion finalized on the following things to go into the ecohouse:
- Biodiesel
- Composter
- Green roof/walls
- Rainwater harvesting & water desalination by distillation
- ‘Recycled’ living space, ie furnitures, accessories made of recycled materials
These people will be looking into the various components and getting their sub-teams:
Biodeisel - Ray and Albert
Composter - Chia chia
Green roof/walls & rainawter - Qingyao and Weizhang
‘Recycled’ living space - Zengrong and Yihan
For our next meeting, the sub-teams above will have to give a proposal of their domain which includes a first estimate of the material costing, the design, and how people can interact with it.
On the superstructure of the house, Ray will enquire from his Dad on standard non-walled frames. If others have lobang, pls go ahead to enquire and get quotations as well.
Pauline briefed us on the time-line she came up with. It details the broad outcomes that should be achieved by the week. Note that things will be added on and updated weekly as we go by, so it’s not exhaustive. Find attached.
Also, Pauline will prepare a document on the vision of our project. It will be handy in telling interested parties about us and very helpful in our subsequent Business Plan.
