P hotovoltaics
Total Output of 28,560 WattsOutput is greater than the daytimepeak energy use, excess power sent to gridSouthern California Edison buysback this power at wholesale rateof $. 04 / kWWholesale rebate for electricitysent to grid is 4 times less thanwhat the owner pays for it

Natural Gas Fired Micro-turbine with Cogeneration Sy stem
Micro-turbine converts natural gasto electricity
Turbine programmed on from 7am to noon and 5 pm to midnight,shuts off automatically if energy
demand falls below a certain point
exhaust heat used to heat water and for space heating
conversion efficiency of 70%versus 30% delivered by the grid

D esign Philosophy and Climate D
esign Philosophy ± Setting a goal for a low-energy building before the design begins. ± D esigning the house as a single package where the components work together ± T ailoring the design for the local climate.
Location & Climate ± Primarily cold and sunny.
± 2835 m ( 9 300 ft) above sea level. ± 5345 heating ºC·days ( 9 623 ºF·days). ± Z ero cooling degree-days.
Initial Concerns ± Remote site with no utility connections. ± Economy: minimize energy costs. (thermal and electrical) ± Environmental impact. ± Operation and maintenance requirements. ± Simple, compact envelope design. (low surface to volume ratio)

Envelope D esignExterior walls: ± constructed of 8 in. dry-stack concrete blocks with 12.7 cm (5 in) expanded
polystyrene insulation on the outside. Below Grade:
± exterior of the 0. 9 1m (3 ft) deep stem wall is insulated with 5.1 cm (2 in.) of polystyrene
± 10.2 cm (4 in.) concrete slab is the floor on the lower level of the house.(intended that that this thermal mass would be used for storing daylight) (noinsulation placed underneath slab)
Roof: ± above the great room, kitchen, and dining room, insulated with R-38 ± Above the bedrooms, insulations was blown onto the prefabricated trusses, for
estimated net thermal resistance of R-40.
Windows: ± double pane, with low-e coating.

Heating and CoolingOverall
Thermal
Design of House: ± D irect gain passive solar (10% of floor area)
± T rombe wall (3% of floor area) ± High mass exterior walls ± Wood stove ± Hydronic backup heating system ( L PG)
± LPG range and clothes drier

Hot Water & Electrical SystemSolar
Domestic Hot Water System ± D HW heated by an active solar system with LPG backup.
± 11 m 2 flat plate solar, two 303 l storage tanks ± Pumps powered by a dedicated PV system (25 w) circulate a solution of
propylene glycol through the collector, underground piping, and heat exchangersinto storage.
Electrical System ± D aily load = 3.2kWh ± N ominal 1000 kW amorphous silicon PV array ± N ominal 42.7 kWh battery bank; effective capacity is 7.8kWh, or 58 hours of
average load. ± 4 kW inverter
± 7.5 kW LPG engine-generator set

P assive Cooling Design
N o mechanical cooling. Roof overhangs shade the windows. T he over-sized roof ventilation channels keep the attic cooler, so less heat entersthe home. T he insulated shutters are closed during the day, keepingout the hot air.

P assive S olar H eating
Combines south-facing windows and skylights with air-core floor as the heatstorage mass, calculated to work together. Heat from the sun enters the homeduring the day and is stored for night time. High insulation levels, insulatingshutters and high-efficiency windows minimize loss of heat.

E nerg y Recover y Ventilation³air-to-air heat exchanger´
ERV uses the stale outgoing (warm) air to heat the incoming (cold)fresh air.

Air-Core Floor
It is a passive solar heat storage feature. Solar heat from the south-facing windows and skylight is stored and distributed by circulating air
T hrough many channels below the floor slab. T he 4" (10 cm) thickbase layer of earthen floor mix contains a high proportion of gravel, for enhanced heat storage capacity.
