SUSTAINABLE OASIS ONLINE

Tool Center

Practical calculators for designing, testing and improving resilient systems.

Start with estimates. Build the system. Measure real performance. Then compare forecast versus reality.

Oasis Planner

Combine solar production, electrical demand, battery storage, rainwater collection, water reserves and food production into one integrated Oasis profile.

The planner identifies the weakest current system so development can focus where it creates the greatest resilience improvement.

ENERGY

Generate. Store. Use. Recover.

Model renewable generation, consumption, recovery and stored electrical autonomy before comparing estimates with measured SO-EMS data.

E01

Solar Production

Estimate daily, monthly and annual solar production from panel capacity, peak sun hours and system efficiency.

Open Solar Calculator →
E02

Battery Runtime

Estimate usable stored energy and how long a battery bank can support a selected electrical load.

Open Battery Calculator →
E03

Energy Balance

Compare generation, consumption and recovered energy to understand the net energy balance of an Oasis.

Open Energy Calculator →
LAB

SO-EMS

Move beyond estimates and measure real energy input, output, storage, recovery and experimental efficiency.

Explore SO-EMS →

WATER

Capture. Store. Consume. Recover.

Understand both sides of water resilience: how much water can enter the system and how quickly stored reserves are consumed.

W02

Water Autonomy

Calculate daily consumption and determine how many days stored water can support current demand.

Open Water Calculator →
W03

Water Storage

Compare tank capacity, stored volume, inflow and consumption as the Oasis water infrastructure grows.

PLANNED
W04

Water Recovery

Future tools will track filtered water, reuse, greywater recovery and overall water cycling.

PLANNED

FOOD

Measure the harvest, not just the garden.

Food resilience requires understanding production, growing area, water demand and repeatability.

F01

Food Production

Compare harvest mass, growing area and water demand to calculate useful production-efficiency metrics.

Open Food Calculator →
F02

Land Productivity

Track kilograms produced per square metre across seasons, crops and growing methods.

INTEGRATED
F03

Water Efficiency

Compare litres used per kilogram produced and kilograms produced per 1,000 litres.

INTEGRATED
F04

Seasonal Production

Future datasets can compare crops, seasons, harvest cycles and food-system reliability.

PLANNED

SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE

Resilience is a system property.

A large solar array does not make an Oasis resilient if there is no storage.

A large water tank does not create resilience if consumption is unknown.

Food production does not tell the whole story without land and water efficiency.

Sustainable Oasis Online brings these relationships together so we can identify the weakest link.

Open Resilience Profile
RESILIENCE MODEL Four Connected Systems

ENERGY 25% generation coverage
STORAGE 25% electrical autonomy
WATER 25% stored-water autonomy
FOOD 25% active production

The current resilience index is a transparent planning framework, not a universal engineering standard.

CURRENT TOOLKIT

Eight tools. One growing system.

Each tool can support a specific design question while the Oasis Planner and Control Room connect the pieces.

MASTER TOOL

Oasis Planner

Configure the major systems together and identify development priorities.

Open tool →

CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE

Tools feed the Control Room.

Calculator results can be transferred into the Sustainable Oasis Control Room as estimated values.

With local browser persistence enabled, those values remain available as you move between tools and the dashboard.

DATA DISCIPLINE

Estimate ≠ Measure.

Sustainable Oasis Online keeps planning assumptions, calculated values and real measurements separate so we can learn from the difference.

01

Estimate

Model expected performance before construction.

02

Build

Create the smallest useful real-world prototype.

03

Measure

Replace assumptions with observed system data.

04

Compare

Understand where estimates and reality diverge.

05

Improve

Use evidence to design the next iteration.

BUILD THE SYSTEM

Start with an estimate. End with evidence.
