Spec Sheet (draft)

Sketchup design:

Sustainability Analysis

• Upcycling: Reconnexus retrofits and repurposes shipping containers
• Materials: Containers retain warmth from thermal mass yet stores solar energy in batteries rather than excess heat
• Water catchment: Higher efficiency water supply from catchment and purification compared to transporting bottles long distances
• Grid independence: Battery micro-grid enables structure to run loads even when power is out
• Renewable energy: Uses solar photovoltaic cells for power with optional wind turbine attachments

Competitive Analysis

• Information: Reconnexus portal interface fills information gaps that exist in the status quo, where lack of information can contribute to unrest, riots and hoarding
• Community involvement: Reconnexus involves the community in assembling, operating, and maintaining the facility, improving involvement compared to current emergency response which relies on volunteers to serve victims
• Reduce Packaging Waste: Reconnexus purifies water and delivers it at the tap, cutting out packaging waste from plastic bottles
• Modular Construction: Compared to traditional construction which can take months to design and build, Reconnexus’ modular container approach is faster and more scalable
• Better Taste and Nutrition: Compared to MRE rations, fresh food cooked in commercial kitchens will both taste better and provide better nutrition for the weeks of recovery
