Self-Sufficient Housing Free for All
Homes as Energy and Resource Hubs
- In a Gnostic-inspired world of the future, where freedom from material oppression and debt is prioritized, the construction of homes reflects values of sustainability, longevity, and harmony with nature.
- At the age of 18, each citizen is given a property to live in. They have a choice of location based on availability. There are various communities, from rural and private to apartment living in cities.
- This roof over the citizens' heads frees them from a life of debt and struggle and is the foundation for a life of freedom from material oppression.
- Buildings will be equipped with rainwater harvesting systems and advanced filtration technologies to provide clean water for drinking, cooking, and sanitation.
- Greywater recycling systems ensure that water usage is efficient and sustainable.
Solar Energy:
- Long-lasting solar panels, such as organic solar cells or perovskite-based panels, can provide electricity for hundreds of years with minimal maintenance.
- Excess energy can be stored in next-generation batteries that are long-lasting and have a low environmental impact, such as salt-based batteries. These are buried underground and shared with the community grid, ensuring energy independence.
Energy Independence: Every house functions as an energy microgrid, reducing reliance on centralized systems and ensuring resilience against disruptions. Apartments in cities rely on solar grids and advanced battery or hydrogen technology for storage. Electricity from these grids is free to use within a 95th percentile.
Design for Sustainability
- Homes are built from durable, sustainable materials designed to last for centuries, requiring minimal upkeep.
- Passive design principles (e.g., natural lighting, ventilation, vegetation, and insulation) reduce energy needs, making homes environmentally and economically efficient.
Alignment with a Gnostic Vision
This system aligns perfectly with the Gnostic goal of liberation from oppressive systems, ensuring freedom from debt, time for inner work, and equality and sustainability for all.
