Energy and Renewal
Every building runs its own power, water, and waste systems on the roof, rather than depending on a town’s centralized grid and treatment plants. Six systems make up that loop, and none of them run in isolation — each one feeds or depends on at least one of the others, closing the loop back to the ground instead of exporting the problem.
Pillars
Energy & Power
The solid-oxide fuel cell, the grid rule that sizes it, and why a building this size still cannot buy the right module off the shelf.
Water Reclamation
A 93-per-cent recycling loop, a pool that doubles as the bulk reservoir, and the small daily make-up drawn from rain and condensate.
Waste & the Reactor
Supercritical water gasification, sorted at the fixture rather than the plant — and the pump the reactor still needs that no one yet makes.
Data Hub
One computing node per building, 3.84 MW across a community — and a frequency-collapse risk the fuel cell alone can’t cover.
Cooling
An absorption chiller fired by the fuel cell’s own exhaust — and today’s unit that doesn’t quite fit its bay.
Carbon Return
Cheap capture from a fuel cell’s own exhaust, piped back to the same depleted gas field it came from, priced against the 45Q credit.
