Water
• Water collection process
• The grey water collection and reuse system
• The black water treatment system
![Page 15: Earthship](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f01e551a28ab5d4d8b45b1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Greywater is gently used water from your bathroom sinks, showers, tubs, and washing machines. (filter plants)
• Blackwater is used to describe waste ware containing feces, urine and flushwater from flush toilets (solar enhanced septic tank or incubater)

• Water organising module
• Consists of filters and DC-pump
• Create common household water pressure
• Used for all household activities except flushing
toilets

Electricity
• Photo Voltaic solar system
• Collect store and use
• Majority of electricity harvested from sun and wind
• Wind turbines- DC energy
• Power Organising Module- used to store energy from batteries and inverted it for AC use

Climate
• Advantage of the properties of thermal mass and passive solar heating and cooling
• Large front windows with integrated shades
• Walls soak up heat during day and radiate heat during night
• Natural ventilation
