NELSON KAY - SUSTAINABILITY THOUGHT LEADER

Nelson Kay is a progressive thought leader. He is also a conservationist and woodworker. For this reason he advocates building sustainable communities from renewable resources, such as trees. That means that he advocates planting trees and harvesting them responsibly. The Housing shown below is a concept for low cost units that next generations can aspire to and help the United Nations achieve their objectives for 2030

CLIMATE CHANGE ACT 2008 & UNITED NATIONS SDGs

In formulating these designs Nelson considered climate change and the other sustainable development goals of the United Nations for 2030. This concept complies with many SDGs. Where this concept is genuinely affordable, it helps to alleviate poverty as per SDG1 in the the renting society we have created become financial slaves. Where these units can be energy neutral they comply with SDG7 in that they generate renewable energy economically. In that there is less stress on the occupants of such low cost housing, SDG3 bites reducing mental illness. The low cost element of the equation can be said to assist SDG11, in that communities constructed of affordable units are sustainable, especially where made from wood, that also locks up carbon. Then there is SDG13 where well designed buildings with reduced energy demands alleviates climate change.

Utopia Tristar RE flatpack timber mobile home 20'x18' affordable starter home (POA) = 12 sq/m solar conservatory, which generates 12 kW during periods of intense sunshine. Thus if the sun shines for 6 good hours, you will capture 72kW/hrs of energy. 8 hours will yield 96 kW/hours and so on. Minus of course any losses in efficiency in conversion. If this mobile home were adapted to be a house, you would not see the pillars. Instead the pillars would be below ground level and could be mounted on concrete raft, or footings. All of this is cost and customer preference dependent.

A VISION FOR FUTURE INTEGRATED ECO COMMUNITIES, AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH PASSIVE HEATING AND MACRO GENERATION
