I wonder how well a waterproofed cardboard roof would hold up against a season of rain and snow. If they can last a year or two, these construction techniques may be good for building outdoor shelters for my colony of feral cats. The layered corrugation should give some insulation, and cats are naturally attracted to cardboard boxes! Great video, thanks for sharing these ideas.

tysm for going down the DIY recycling path!! using the abundant waste around us is only going to become more and more important, and developing these easy open source techniques is such valuable work. I hope you continue pursuing different forms of abundant waste as input -- you are elite at solving these sorts of problems

I am so excited to see this idea combined with the radiative cooling stuff. you probably already had the thought, but I wonder if using two layers of the corrugation could form a ocuntercurrent heat exchanger. or even using alternating "ducts" in the corrugation to flow in opposite directions. I'm not quite smart enough at that stuff to guess if it's a good idea, but by god it's an idea 😂

Hi Sam (NightHawk), I am trying to reach you to use your knowledge, input and expertise to assist us (universities and ASAQS) to make informal settlements in South Africa livable, using cheap materials such as cardboard. Most "mukukus" are constructed with scrap timber and corrugated iron. Freezing cold in winter (currently -1°C) and blistering hot in summer. You can reach me on bert@qs.co.za or on WhatsApp using +27 82 550 5199 Thanx, Bert

Hi Bert, look into the organization Meer for currently available cheap cooling options. Their foils could be used on the interior of structures as well for reflective heat retention.

Thanks for sending! There's a few companies like this that make pcm packs. We'll see if I can do better with my own improvements in time.
