DoomsdaysCWHow are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalDisaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NaturalDisaster</a>-resistant design elements integrated into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Solarpunk</a> buildings?Publication date: 2023-09-02"In Solarpunk buildings, natural disaster-resistant design elements are integrated through a combination of passive and active design strategies. Here are a few ways in which these elements can be incorporated:1. Site selection and orientation: Solarpunk buildings are typically situated in areas that are less susceptible to natural disasters like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/floods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#floods</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthquakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#earthquakes</a>, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tsunamis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tsunamis</a>. Careful evaluation of the site's history and potential risks helps in choosing locations that are more resilient. Additionally, the building orientation can be optimized to maximize <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NaturalLight</a> and minimize exposure to prevailing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/winds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#winds</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/storms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#storms</a>.2. Structural reinforcements: Solarpunk buildings embrace resilient construction techniques to withstand natural disasters. This may include reinforced foundations, earthquake-resistant designs, hurricane-resistant materials, and robust structural systems that can withstand high winds, seismic activity, or even <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtremeWeather</a> events.3. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenRoofs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenRoofs</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainwaterHarvesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RainwaterHarvesting</a>: Green roofs, which incorporate vegetation on the rooftop, offer several benefits when it comes to natural disaster resilience. They can help mitigate stormwater runoff, reducing the strain on existing drainage systems during heavy rainfalls or floods. Additionally, rainwater harvesting systems can be implemented to collect and store rainwater for future use, serving as an alternative water source during emergencies.4. Passive climate control: Solarpunk design emphasizes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassiveCooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PassiveCooling</a> and heating strategies to reduce energy consumption and reliance on mechanical systems. Natural ventilation through well-placed windows, louvers, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RoofVents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RoofVents</a> can help regulate indoor temperatures. By not relying heavily on air conditioning units, Solarpunk buildings can maintain habitability even during power outages caused by natural disasters.5. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a> systems: Solarpunk buildings integrate renewable energy systems like solar panels or wind turbines to generate electricity on-site. This reduces dependence on centralized energy grids, making the building more self-sufficient and resilient in the face of power disruptions caused by natural disasters. Battery storage systems can also be incorporated to store excess energy and provide backup power during emergencies.6. Water management and flood-resistance: Solarpunk buildings employ strategies such as permeable paving, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RainGardens</a>, and water retention ponds to manage stormwater. These features help minimize the risk of flooding and prevent damage caused by heavy rains or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtremeWeather</a> events."By combining these design elements, Solarpunk buildings aim to create sustainable and resilient structures that can better withstand the challenges posed by natural disasters."Source: <a href="https://houses-apartments.com/en/architecture/solarpunk-architecture/how-are-natural-disaster-resistant-design-elements-integrated-into-solarpunk-buildings" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://houses-apartments.com/en/architecture/solarpunk-architecture/how-are-natural-disaster-resistant-design-elements-integrated-into-solarpunk-buildings</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Architecture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ArchitecturalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArchitecturalDesign</a>

VegPlotterHarnessing rainwater with swales is a sustainable way to irrigate your garden. Swales are shallow ditches that capture and direct rainwater to your crops.

BroadforkOh well I’m getting to see how this new plot holds up to heavy rainfall. Early indications after starting last week with snow and then a weekend of storm Bert, are not so promising. I’ll see how well it drains this week. Temperatures are still high for late November around the early teens °C.At least the shed roof harvested lots of rainwater over the weekend. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/RainwaterHarvesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RainwaterHarvesting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/NoDig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoDig</a>
