As you review our material, you will find that we have two types of CORE systems. HPWC stands for "Home Power and Water Center”, and SPWC (Solar Power and Water Center). The technology of the HPWC is quite different from the SPWC design. The materials used for both the core units and the building enclosure systems are very different. The African enclosure designs are primarily concrete, while the American enclosure designs are mostly constructed of local wood products. The designs are naturally modified based on the availability of local materials available for attachment to the CORE designs.

The overall “concept” of CORE designs remains the same. In both cases we have a “central core unit” designed towards the specific environmental requirements of a specific area which include an enclosure system that is also designed for targeted local requirements. Both require the utilization of indigenous materials. The SPWC is designed to be independent of all utility services, while the HPWC CORE is designed toward local utility service.
