Pre-Kickoff Preparation
Read the website description of Fabship: http://www.fabship.cc/
Read the Fabship concept paper: http://www.fabship.cc/resources/assets/Concept.pdf
Read the Times Free Press article about Chattanooga's Net Zero home
The Fabship concept depends on energy-efficient fabrication. Creating an off-grid FabLab may sound impossible but Chattanooga is already showing it's possible to build houses that produce all the energy they need to operate. This article in the Times Free Press describes this home built as part of a project with our co-sponsor, green|spaces
