Judges'' comments


Thank you for your submission to the Climate CoLab.

The Judges would like to see additional discussion of the central issue of the challenge, namely, drying wood under adverse conditions. In addition, the Judges would like more detail on where the wood would be placed, the drying capacity, and so on.

I have revised the concept with additional information, with renderings of where the wood will be placed and explaining how it will be dried focusing on the central issue of the challenge, I have also added drying capacity and other key benefits of this proposal.
