Design Guide

Urban Camp targets people living on the street, often in tent camps.  The design is for a living space that helps these people transition to better lives.

The details of the living space are adapted to people living on the street.  But they are the same details that you or I or anyone would want in a living space.

Part 1 Design Thinking

1.1 Homes that are Clean, Safe, Secure, and Livable

Safety: The first priority is a space that is safe for people.  This means compliance with the fire and building codes that apply in any urban area. 

What is DEF? Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a mixture of Urea in Deionized water in a 32.5 % concentration. It is used as a consumable fluid in diesel engine emissions control using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). How Much DEF do I Need? A good rule of thumb for generators is that DEF consumption will be about 10% of diesel consumption.

End of Life for Micrologix 1000/1500:

There are several million Micrologix 1000 PLCs in service around the world, including thousands in critical service in data center equipment. Hundreds of Dot‐Com Era (1998 – 2002) data centers are still in service throughout the US and world.

Many of these facilities are very valuable because they occupy locations close to large cities and fiber optic infrastructure.  Earthsafe built fuel systems for many of these facilities, and our systems have operated reliably over that time with very little maintenance.
