Draft proposal for Design of Insulated Panels installed as Shelter Wall Insulation, that can be Re-used as Shelters in the event of a Disaster Situation
These panels are 'Stored for Reuse', while peforming a useful function of insulation energy saving . They are designed for reuse / removal in case of the need for building disaster shelters.
This is particularly important as the 'Just in time' method of modern manufacturing & logistics / supply chain ,means there are not hundreds of thousands of panels / tents available in warehouse storage for immediate despatch to users such as the homeless / flood victims.
Idea Part 2
In Dec 2018, a related idea was formed by Paul, under the STOREUSE name, so people or orgs. in need of storage could be matched with land owners / property owner /renters / (orgs or individuals) mainly though a website.
Storage is a common barrier to reuse, as commercial storage is expensive, and transport costs to a storage facility can add up if storage is not avaialble locally.
Idea Part 3
The next step is to offer a kit to build a cheap shelter for storage. Cabinz and their suppliers hope to facilitate this . Preferably by using modular composite (greater than the sum of their parts) or reused materials.
These can be diassembled for easy reuse elsewhere.
Paul & Cabinz would like to hear from interested parties who would like to expand or fund the project development.
