What Is Appropriate Technology?

Appropriate technology is an ideological movement that involves small-scale, labor-intensive, energy efficient, environmentally sound, people-centered, and locally controlled projects.

Appropriate Technology Projects

  • Use local materials and people-power often taking the form of “earth building”are culturally sensitive

  • Have been requested by locals to fill a self-identified need

  • Involve interactive collaboration where both parties grow and develop from the experience.

In addition, this method uses open-source knowledge, meaning there must be transparency in the process and outcome, and this information must be shared to ensure it is replicable.

14 FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN TECHNOLOGY SELECTION

  • First cost

  • Suitability

  • Constructability due to schedule, lead time, start-up/commission-ability

  • Ease and cost of operations and maintenance

  • Total cost of ownership

  • Experience and reputation of the equipment manufacturer

  • Impact on other building design elements (size, location, interference)

  • Noise criteria (NC)

  • Lifespan

  • Energy benefits (code requirements, energy efficiency, or value of the property)

  • Scalability, staging, and modularity of equipment

  • Redundancy and failure-node risk

  • Environmental health attributes 

  • Safety

Appropriate technology always helps us to do our job easily. But we must have a proper knowledge in using these technologies. Technologies are convenient but without a proper knowledge, this will lead us to accidents. Nice article. Very informative
