Insulation has been added to the design concept after the interview in the blog post OUGD503 - Disaster Aid/Emergency Packaging - Interview where it is stated that some refugee camps can drop to -20 in the winter.
The walls of the pods will be a 2 ply double layered sheet which will we expandable. The gaps can then be filled with expandable foam or if needed, leaves and other local materials. This will create an insulated system to retain heat in the winter or keep cool in the summer.
Local labour, local expertise and local materials have been prioritised to help rehabilitate the local community and create a self sustaining environment.
