Subterranean Cooling

Where possible we will use the benefits of subterranean construction to spare scarring the earth and maximize cooling benefits.

Rainwater & Gravity

We will explore and exploit the very nature of rain and the effect of gravity on water to generate electricity and cool our homes.

Solar

The Dream Farm will design it's architecture to make the most of sunlight's heat and electricity potential.

Wind

We will use wind turbines to generate electricity on the Dream Farm.

Biogas

From the waste of our crops and plants, people and animals we will convert these typical throw away materials into gas that will be used to heat our homes, our kilns and produce electricity. We anticipate that approximately one third of our electricity can be generated with biogas.

Geothermal

In our search for an appropiate property to build the Dream Farm we will look for geothermal resources. Geothermal can be used to heat our homes, greenhouses and drive turbines generating electricity. We anticipate that most of our architecture can be heated using geothermal heat.
