95/72

95/72 is Outside temps / Inside dome temps. No A/C, hell, no electricity. Just the amazing principles of thermal mass, reptilling, and the genius of Nader Khalili's Cal-Earth Superadobe technology.

It was so pleasant in the dome today, even on the hottest days of the year, it is survivable and comfortable inside the dome. I am actually more impressed and surprised by the performance than I expected to be. I expected it to be way too stuffy, but with ceilings taller than the rooms are wide, the heat goes up! And with all the wildfires in the news, it is nice to know that a superadobe structure simply cannot burn. It's made of sand and cement. And if it ever did flood, there are no hollow wooden walls to grow mold in. Properly sealed, the walls and floors can clean up after submerged in a jiffy, I've seen it!
A good view from the top of the dome.

So smooth, level enough for gov't work.

This is a place to put a lantern, beverage or book, and to stand on to close and open the hatch.

The desert days fly by too fast.
The dome(s) look(s) cool from this side too.
