Championing Research & Development for Climate Resilience, Energy Efficiency and Disaster-Preparedness.
“Biodome Caribbean pioneers innovative research and development in climate resilience, energy efficiency, disaster preparedness, and sustainable urban and peri-urban development to foster resilient, adaptive, and equitable societies.”
In a world grappling with climate extremes, unsustainable energy practices, and fragmented urban systems, the imperative for transformative solutions is clear: 50% of global energy consumption stems from heating and cooling inefficiencies, while vulnerable communities face escalating risks from food insecurity, infrastructure collapse, and governance gaps in peri-urban zones. Biodome Caribbean addresses these challenges head-on by reimagining habitation through its revolutionary dome ecosystems, engineered to maintain a stable, energy-efficient tropical climate of 26°C indoors—regardless of external conditions, from freezing -5°C winters to scorching 45°C deserts. At the core of this innovation lies a thermal battery-integrated design that eliminates reliance on conventional HVAC systems, slashing energy use while ensuring resilience to Category 5 hurricanes and climatic volatility. Beyond climate control, these domes embed closed-loop sustainability: vertical farms and aquaponics break urban food dependencies, greywater recycling conserves resources, and modular layouts resolve peri-urban transportation and governance hurdles. By harmonizing hurricane-proof architecture with self-sufficient systems, Biodome Caribbean transcends adaptation—it offers a global model for communities to thrive in equilibrium with Earth’s most extreme environments, proving that human ingenuity can turn survival into sustainability.
Mark and Cecilia Douglas have majored in the fields of energy engineering and plant biology, originally from the Caribbean. Mark, an energy engineer, furthered his studies in greenhouse technology at the University of Almería, Spain. Together, they combine their knowledge to develop sustainable biodome solutions.
Climate Control Mastery
Our domes will be designed to maintain a consistent 26°C tropical climate indoors via thermal batteries and passive design, ensuring comfort and crop viability in extremes from -5°C to 45°C.
Energy Independence
By integrating solar power, radiative cooling, and geothermal systems, we eliminate fossil-fuel HVAC reliance, cutting global heating/cooling energy waste by 50%.
Peri-Urban Revolution
Modular dome communities resolve systemic challenges like food insecurity and governance gaps with vertical farms, greywater recycling, and decentralized, self-sufficient design.
Disaster-Proof Resilience
Hurricane-resistant structures with flood-proof foundations and thermal backup systems ensure uninterrupted habitation and food production during climate disasters.
