Solar Hot Water Hating

This system by using renewable energy can provide almost 60% of the hot water for a small building. It means SDHW system with using 60% less energy result in not only savng money but also helps to reduce carbon footprint.

Solar PV Systems

A Photovotaic System generate elctricity through a process using the sunlight. This systems works by linking nuber of panels together because each panel produce small enegy. To use the electricity provided by a solar PV system there need an inverter to convert

the current from DC to AC.

Rain Water Harvesting System

This system is used to reduce the amount of water usage. it collects the rain water and stores it un a tank fo later use. By adding a pump and a purification system it can be used as potable water.

Wind Turbine

Wind Turbines are used in two different scales which here a smallscale is suggested. It’s another solution to generatee electricity and help to reduce use of fossil fuels, saving money as well as redusing pollution .

WaterSeer Device

This device provide water catching the moisture from the air throght the process of condensation. It has a tank undergroung so the device use this tempreture difference between grade level and underground.

Hempcrete

Hempcrete is chosen for exterior materioal as it is made of bio fiber and mineral binder and it works as a good insulation. It also called “bonded cellulose insulation”. This material has a good texture and make a good combination with wood as the first exterior material.

Wood Siding

Wood is the first choice for this project as it is one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly material. Canada has a large amount of wood resources so it’s locally available. AAlso it’s a durablematerial which is an important factor in sustainability.

Sustainable Features

Sun Penetration

Natural Ventilation

Low Flow Toilet

Low flow toilet is an answer to water conservation. This product from EAGO use significantly less amount of water than a standard option.

Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile

This mosaic tile is chosen for interionr material as it is recyled and and has one of the important factors of sustainability.

Triple Glazed Window

This part of building has a significant role in energy eficiency. Triple glazed window effect on building envelope performance and as a result helps to save energy.

Floor Heating System

This system is one of the best alternatives for energy eficiency. It heating up the floor by radient heat in a short time.
