ReGen Villages are planned, prefabricated villages designed for self sufficiency and able to be constructed in any location. They are intended to provide self-sufficiency, net-positive energy solutions, and closed-loop waste-to-resource systems.
New construction greenfield size: 4 acres, 75-100 residents.

Goals & Strategies:
Place
-
Food
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Aquaponics that recycle greywater and provide nutrients to food production, organic vertical farming located within the village.
Habitat
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Closed waste-to-resource loops, water purification, likely landscaping and stormwater retention ponds.
Transportation
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Within the village, there are no roads for cars. It is unclear how they will connect to the greater community.
Water
-
Water
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Landscaping for water retention, stormwater is collected. On-site treatment for water. Separation of greywater. Recycle water through aquaponics and greenhouses. Efficient appliances.
Energy
-
Energy
Goals: Net-positive energy production. 100% renewable energy.
Strategies: RegenVillages will be net-positive energy producers using renewable energy. Designed for off-grid capabilities. Employ a smart grid. Generate power through solar panels, biomass, geothermal, wind, and biogas from community waste.
Health + Happiness
Materials
-
Embodied Energy & Carbon
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Not reported.
Waste
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Greywater recycling, compost waste to energy. Buildings will be prefabricated and deconstructable. Designed to meet passive house standards.
Equity
-
Neighborhood & Access
Goals: Not defined.
Strategies: Walkable community. Biophilic design. Gardens, greenhouses attached to homes. Designed for high-end living.
