  2. Intentional Residential Community

  3. Retrofit Chicago Retrofit Commercial • Buildings Initiative • Landmark Status • Comprehensive Lights Retrofit • Solar Project with grant from ICECF • Controlled experiment -- Bioshaft

  4. beyond technical, a green culture

  5. window garden, kitchen greenhouse

  6. Phase 1 – Pilot Project Process steps evapotranspiration Black water from toilet Digestive fermentation and uptake of nutrients Geochemically filtered water Water collected in rain barrel will undergo testing

  7. The process steps for the first phase of the pilot project are: Blackwater from bathroom is discharged into the receptacle where it is digested and distributed into the soil layers, for uptake by plants. Evapotranspiration will displace some of the water back into the atmosphere and in the process cooling the immediate surroundings, helping to offset the urban heat island effect. Once the water has percolated and is geochemically filtered by the soil layers, the excess liquid will be distributed through the green roof section where additional uptake of nutrients and filtration will occur. The remnant flow will be collected in a rain barrel and tested for quality before used to water potted plants. Modifications may be made to the bioshaft unit to improve results.

  8. Horse Manure (each weighted and placed in microcosm) DePaul Students (Spring 2013) working on Bioshaft microcosms.

  9. Continued in Part 2 Uptown community engagement
