One Community is an all-volunteer nonprofit sustainability think tank. We're seeking a Structural Engineer (P.E. or S.E.)* to help us finish the structural engineering for an open source sustainable straw-bale-construction (wood frame) sustainable classroom. We'd say 50% of the work for this is already complete.
SKILL REQUIREMENTS
- 2+ years design experience please*
- AutoCAD experience and your own copy of the software
- Must be available for 10+ volunteer hours a week
- Must be self-motivated and comfortable working in a virtual environment (from home) using GoogleDocs and DropBox for collaboration
- Licensing in our state is not necessary, this is not for a final stamped review, that will come later and be done by someone else
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
The Ultimate Classroom is the DIY-replicable straw bale construction classroom we will be using during development of phases 1 and 2 of our global sustainability project. It will be used as recreation and adult-education space when not being used as an early-education classroom. We want a structure that is energy efficient and designed to meet California and Utah codes.
DESIGN INTENT
- Must be energy efficient
- Must be fairly easy to construct
- Should be constructed from wood
- Should fit the existing floor plan designed in AutoCAD and SketchUp 3D
WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE WHEN DONE
- Complete design that meets engineering code requirements for California and Utah
- Complete design report that explains all steps and decisions made to arrive at your conclusion
- Complete, organized, and appropriately referenced file set to go with the tutorial

Description
Our vision is to usher in a new age of cooperation, collaboration, and sustainability.
