Hi Zack,

An idea I have that could be implemented in any urban local and make use of
such a Guild as you propose or perhaps be a show piece of the Guild is to
create a 501-C3 that owns even one old heat hog of a house and has as it's
mission to use this house as research on various technologies and systems
designed for urban or suburban living. Ultimately, it could involve local
universities, highschools as well as environmental and gardening groups
becoming a training tool as well as a cost effective way to develop design
templates for specific types of housing.

Various templates for retrofit design could be created from the research
projects applied to the house. Ultimately, it would be a creative resource
with a focus to re-use existing housing to make it sustainable.

Cheers, Elsa
