Impacts of Extreme Weather on Community Fridges
公开 DepositedWhile collaborating with Worcester Community Fridges, we worked to understand and address weatherization issues the refrigerators face. Through collecting a variety of data and researching solutions, we synthesized design recommendations for future improvements to the enclosures and stock solutions that are ready to implement. Our team also provided a manual to break down the needs of a community fridge. We interviewed volunteers, Ph.D. students, and architects to inform our design process, ensuring the refrigerators can run with little maintenance regardless of the season. Working on weatherization design was an iterative process, requiring feedback from the community and cost-benefit analyses to deliver flexible and effective recommendations for current and future enclosures.
