Established approaches
Reduce demand first
Explore insulation, efficient lighting and appliances, passive daylight, ventilation design, and appropriately engineered renewable energy options.
Established approaches and experiments
Energy
Energy ideas deserve curiosity—and measurements.
Invitation to energy innovators
Do you have a promising energy technology that needs somewhere real to prove itself?
Seeds to Tree hopes eventually to serve as a real, instrumentable home where promising energy technologies can be demonstrated or tested under appropriate professional and safety oversight. This is a future aspiration, not an existing research facility. No energy provider, technology partner, or research institution has been selected.
Researchers, inventors, universities, and developers can contact the Think Tank with a practical proposal.
Proposals for study
Experimental systems
Investigate building-scale dust evacuation, integrated controls, and other concepts with simulations and small tests before making performance claims.
No energy production, savings, self-sufficiency, or perpetual-motion performance figures are asserted. Any eventual system must be assessed for safety, cost, maintainability, and real measured output.
