THINGS TO TAKE IN
ACCOUNT FOR THE
PROJECTS YOU ARE
DEVELOPING
Wednesday, March 18, 2009

37. RMIT - Melbourne
-How many ENERGY does your project need? Think in terms of energy not just economy.
-To do it (materials, transportation, people...)
-During its lifetime
-At the end (Recycle - Reuse)
-Does your project contribute to rethink our actual energy uses/scenario? How?
-WHY? Is your project really necessary? Is it aordable in an energy scarcity scenario?
-WHAT are the ASSUMPTIONS do you made for this POC scenario?
-WHAT are the IMPROVEMENTS of your project for a POC? Individual, collective, community,
city, region, global...
Are you making any assumptions for this improvements to be real? Do you rely in any
technology, in any social or individual change/attitude/skill...
-Is your project ADAPTATIVE, highly reuseable, low reusable? Is it adaptative enought for an
UNCERTAINTY scenario?
Permaculture questions:
-Is this project taking care of the earth?
-Is this project taking care of the people?
-Is this project consuming more energy than the energy it produces? If yes, how do you suply
it? If no, how do you store/share it?
