As a "catalyst for a more comfortable earth,” HUG's goal is to build affordable housing that can - heat and cool itself without fossil fuels
- process its own water and waste
- help feed the occupants
We are using a variety of old and new technologies in our current research and development projects, which include: compact solar panels, heat storage, air handling, HUGNet, water reclamation, greenhouses, and composting toilet systems. | Every time we analyzed what we really want out of a job, a career, even a lifestyle, it always boiled down to these basics: Do Good, Have Fun, and Make a Living at it! That basic philosophy guides us as we create HUG and the research campus. HUG Mission Hunt Utilities Group will pursue research, development and application of technologies and methods that support sustainable living and environmental stewardship. We will foster entrepreneurship and community as we pursue the above goals. | | | Another guiding philosophy is to "Shorten the Loop". Shorten the loop means... Strengthen your local economy Use local construction materials Use local energy sources...preferably the sun Raise much of your own food Recycle much of your water
Ideally we see no waste... only resources. Be a symbiant
