Eco Friendly HouseKayla
Ariana Jayme
Its Easy being Green! JayAKay provides you with all of your need. We offer
our customers a natural environment that is just as
comfortable as any other house would be. Our living structure is composed mostly of environmentally friends materials of the finest quality. The drywall is actually EcoRock– a replacement that uses less energy to make and produces less greenhouse gasses. POLLI-brick-which is made from recycled materials- was also used constructing our building. Water -from the community sinks in the bathroom -come out as an effective mist that still cleans your hands properly. Living in our quarters lets you sleep better knowing your doing your part to save the earth.
Air source heat pump
Air source heat pump Provide one and half to three times
more heat for home than electrical energy it receive
Moves heat opposed to convert it into fuel
Recycling bins
Ground Source Heat Pump
Ground Source heat pump Its easy to reuse items opposed to
throwing them away
Water purification system Get access to water from the ground
water spring Goes through the filters Pumps water through out the house Goes through aerobic treatment unit Goes through the septic tank Goes into the drain field Drains water into the soil Water pumped back into the springs
Spring Water
Ground Spring Areas where ground water comes out
of the holes in the rocks Advantage of using this system is that
the homeowner doesn’t have to pay a monthly bill or pay for water regulations
This type of system works better than other systems because it is consist of more clean water than others
Carbon Filter
Carbon FiltersGet rid of the following……. Chemicals Chlorine Bad tastes and odors Partially hydrogen sulfide Partially heavy metals Radon Sediment Vocs
Reverse Osmosis System
Reverse Osmosis SystemGet rid of the following….. Bacteria Chlorine Metal Pollutants Dissolved organic solids(salts) Bad taste, odor, appearance
Carbon vs. Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis only purge bacteria Carbon Filters only purge chemicals
Both filters are needed to ensure that homeowners have clean healthy water
Aerobic Treatment Unit
Aerobic Treatment Unit Pre treats wastewater by adding air to
break down organic matter, reduce pathogens, and transform nutrients
Creates an environment consisting of high amount of oxygen and organic matter is used to break down the bacteria
Once the process is completed the wastes goes through the septic tank system
Septic Tank
Septic Tank A tank built underground and the
wastes is broken down by the bacteria As the wastes leaves the aerobic
treatment unit, the solids will settle to the bottom. The liquids will flow through the system into the drain fields. The bacteria in the soil will break down the wastes.
Drain fields
Drain fields Network of holes laid in the gravel filled
beds After the materials settle into the
septic tank, the wastewater is removed by pressure or gravity
The wastewater ends up in the drain fields
Combined heat and power unit
Combined Heat and Power Unit
Generates power and thermal energy from a single fuel source
Decrease energy costs Reduces emission of greenhouse gases
Composting Toilet
Composting Toilet Doesn’t use water to drain the waste Allow natural processes to decompose Decompose for a year before emptying Doesn’t smell if there is a vent pipe
and drain
Benefits of Composting Toilet
Saves water The waste goes back into soil which
improves the quality of soil Electricity isn’t needed Don’t need pipe to transport waste to
sewage farm Don’t need a truck to remove waste
Energy Efficient Condensing Boiler
Energy Efficient Condensing Boiler
Contains an extra heat exchanger that way red hot waste air transfer an amount of heat to start to heat cold water input
Twin coil cylinder
Twin Coil Cylinder Used for the solar thermal panels to
capture the heat Foam insulation is used to reduce heat
losses Has a coil that heats water using power
from boiler and second coil heats water using energy from a solar panel
Triple glazed solar windows
Greenhouse
Solar thermal panel
Solar Thermal Panel Heat water for home using energy from
sun Water bills will be reduced Reduce amount of carbon dioxide that
is released
Insulation for attic
Insulation for Attic Reduces heating bills When its cold outside its easy for heat
to escape the home Insulation traps the heat inside of the
home
Geothermal Pump System
Geothermal Pump System Uses heat from the earth to prove
heating, air conditioning, and hot water for the home
During winter heat is pulled from earth into home
During summer heat is pulled out of home into the ground
70% of energy used is renewable energy from ground
Wind Turbine
Wind Turbine Provide electricity for the greenhouse
to power the light bulbs Covers energy from the winds into
electrical energy electrical energy will be used to power
electricity inside of home Reduces electricity bill
Compost Bin
Compost Bin Used instead of commercial fertilizers Improve soil quality and improves the
health of plants Inexpensive and a convenient process
Roof Washer
Roof Washer Removes sediment and debris from
collection surfaces shortly after the rain starts to fall
Daily, it collects 0.02 inches of rainfall per square feet of the roof area
Rainwater Collection Tank
Aerator
Aerator Conserves water and energy Reduces the amount of splashing from
a faucet Attached to end of a faucet The mesh screen helps reduce the flow
of the water
Animals and Evacuation The animals will be evacuated temporarily until
construction is complete. They can come back after fences of bamboo are established
Red Fox evacuation: Rotating beacon lights will scared the foxes far
away. The foxes will be lured by homemade scents. Into long spring traps The traps will be used only if the lights do not work. If trapped, they will be sent to the zoo.
Hedgehog evacuation We will be using traps from
http://www.epestsolutions.com/kage-all-raccoon-trap.html to capture hedgehogs and remove them away from the area. The traps will be baited with different kinds of food such as jerky, strawberries and bread. The hedgehogs will be held in a nearby zoo until construction is done and they can return home.
Red Deer evacuation Tranquillizer will be injected into
fruits, vegetables, and imitation grass and put on a table for them to consumer. Multiple tables will be scattered along the area. We will then transport the deer to the zoo until construction is complete.
Our Living Regulations We provide our family with the safest and most comfortable living area
, but in order to keep you and the animals happy, we recommend you follow these handy helping hints:
¨ Do not try to interact with the animals. Do not let your children
“play” with them. ¨ The animals are not a threat to us until someone threatens the
safety of their shelter, offspring, or themselves. ¨ Don’t damage our bamboo fence by allowing children to horse play
and climb on it. Our EcoLivng Center isn’t like other complexes.. Its not always easy
being green but it is better.
