Uninhabited test city
First Claim
1. A full scale uninhabited test facility configured for building, and evaluating man made structures, the test facility comprising:
- user configurable uninhabited environments configured to;
simulate settings in which man made infrastructure and structures are built; and
simulate use of man made infrastructure and structures in the simulated settings;
the user configurable environments comprising;
an urban environment configured to simulate infrastructure and structures in a city;
a suburban environment configured to simulate infrastructure and structures around a city; and
a rural environment configured to simulate infrastructure and structures in non urban or suburban areas; and
an underground monitoring facility configured to facilitate monitoring the infrastructure and structures including simulated use of the infrastructure and structures in the urban environment, the suburban environment, and the rural environment without interrupting a simulation,wherein monitoring comprises;
uploading input information for the simulation, the input information indicating;
fictional weather conditions;
a time of day;
a geographic location;
a number of people interacting with the infrastructure and structures in the urban, suburban, and rural environments; and
biographical information about the people interacting with the infrastructure and structures in the urban, suburban, and rural environments;
monitoring facility wide control parameters, the facility wide control parameters comprising a mechanical load, an electrical load, a temperature, a humidity, power use, and water use; and
monitoring stochastically calculated structure specific component control parameters, wherein components of a structure comprise a heater, an air conditioner, household appliances, sinks, showers, faucets, toilets, electronic devices, lighting, windows, and fans.

Abstract
A full scale uninhabited test facility is configured for building modular man made structures, evaluating modular man made structures, evaluating use of modular man made structures, and/or for other purposes. The structures may be located in a user configurable simulated environment. One or more structures may be configured to simulate use by inhabitants in a simulated environment. After testing, the constructed structure(s) may remain where built in the simulated environment(s) until such time as another user may reconfigure the environments or structures. As additional structures are built and/or modified, new and old structures may operate side by side, generating opportunity, for example, to test new and/or different technology on the same structures.
