Overview
	
	The project focused on community development based on the combined application of the science of ekistics and advanced community energy systems. Ekistics, as the science of human settlements, offers a detailed analytical matrix of the functional and social relationships in human settlements and is ideal for the correlation of energy parameters and synthesis of a genetic design and analysis tool and methodology for use by urban designers and engineers to maximise use of local energy resources, energy conservation and use of advanced energy systems on a community scale.
	The objective was to develop a practical and widely applicable methodology for community design and analysis as a tool for achievement of maximised energy conservation in resources-limited environments.
