Current Clean Water Consumption: Detroit 616,000,000 gallons fresh water pumped daily Bills households based on average of 1000 cubic feet/month 1000 ft3 = 7,480.52 gallons 7,480.52gal / 30 days = 249.35 gal/day 616,000,000gal / 249.35gal per household = 2,470,423 households reached daily New Detroit 249.35 gallons per household / 3ppl per household = 83gal used per person per day 3,320,000gal needed daily Can we reduce water used per capita? By how much?
Current Waste Water Treatment: Detroit 710,000,000 gallons wastewater treated daily 710,000,000gal / (2,470,423 households x 3ppl) = 95gal generated per person per day New Detroit 95gal generated per person per day 3,800,000gal generated daily

THE PERFECT HOUSE
NET-ZERO CONSTRUCTION System Types: ● Berms on South-West to block cold winter winds. ● Pitched roofs to allow wind to flow up over city. ● Orientation of Buildings to maximize natural daylight. ● Cool Roofs. ● Energy Star Appliances. ● Grey water reclamation (cisterns, bioswales etc…). ● Water-efficient landscapes. ● Insulations: R-5.5 and up. Well sealed and insulated building envelopes to minimize thermal bridge and reduction in heat transfer. ● Heat exchangers (for waste heat and water). ● Recycled-Content ● Water-efficient toilets and fixtures. ● Permeable paving material.
NET-ZERO CONSTRUCTION Goals: To provide shading, natural ventilation and solar thermal benefits to the buildings of New Detroit Design of deconstruction Recycled Building materials, but reuse in innovative and advance ways, such as repurposed Flexible Timber Wood Skins etc...
Use fritted exposures and tessellating surfaces to provide shading, natural ventilation and solar thermal benefits
