Hi Stephan,

no im a bit confused ~ what is the connection to Sudan here?

I think sustainable houses are adapting to their sourounding ;-)
so Canada as a testbed for Sudan? Reminds me to a discussion at ISEA
Dortmund ~where people in this areas are masters in recycling material
for a second, third ... seventh use. The question there was, how could
we educate and teach the people there ~ but is it not just the opposite,
what we could learn from them? (by the way an old laptop i prepared
nicely with a french linux to Mali~was imidiatly "refurbished" with
windows, who to blame? )

Collaboration needs maybe take the collaborators into account, a never
ending story.

;o)

The issue here - for me, for now, is not to create the stand-alone self supporting system, power generating water waste recycling etc (as with Makrolab, for example) although it is about making as small a footprint as possible. Perhaps another way to look at it is as a 'data autonomous' house.

Most places in the techno-social periphery have supplies that are good (clean enough) for reliably running 'fridges, lights, and other DC objects -- but for use with step-down transformers (any small electronic device operates this way), the instability wreaks havoc (I'm sure some of you have experienced this effect -- that lovely whizzzzzz-pop! sound that an air-gap/induction transformer (converter) makes when it gets a voltage spike. The smell is unmistakable!
