 What we designed the house to be was really energy efficient, first of all by lowering the energy consumption. What we wanted to do was minimize the energy that the house needed to run before putting solar panels on the roof to generate that energy. Our house incorporated passive design features. So what you see right here is actually our house is facing south. We have 73% of our windows also facing south. We have clear story windows above and windows facing down below. So when they're both open you get this natural ventilation in our house. Appliances are energy star rated. Our toilets are washer and dryer. Our low flow system. We took a concept from the typical batch in New Zealand which is a typical holiday home. And they are traditionally not very efficient houses so we wanted to increase the efficiency of this. And the lighting would have been incandescent lighting. So at best it would have been 240 watts of energy but a poorly lit house. We wanted to come in under 240 watts but have a really generous, enjoyable lighting scheme. So with LEDs we were able to achieve that. We've got 35 lights through the house and in the landscape and we're only consuming 186 watts. Phase change solar thermal storage where we take 57 gallons of paraffin wax. Instead of a hot water heater we store all of our heat in this paraffin wax and it can hold the equivalent heat energy of about 150 gallons of water. So it's extremely energy dense and one full day of sun can provide about two days of hot water draws for our homes. We have the liquid desiccant waterfall which removes the latent load. It removes the humidity. When you do that it makes it a whole lot easier for your HVAC system to cool the house. Therefore saving electricity. This stuff is great and it's called dense pack. We actually blow it in with a fan through holes into each cavity and it packs it really tightly so there's no gaps for air to circulate and energy to loop be lost that way. It's also the best kind of insulation because it's almost 100% recycled newspaper. So it's totally a very low energy process to make. It's really good for the workers that make it. Triple-pane, argon-filled, R5, U.2, windows and doors throughout the house and try to incorporate a few passive features such as a reinterpreted trom wall full of phase change material. So during the day this trom wall collects light, absorbs heat energy and at night when temperatures cool down it will release the energy within the house. So we have eaves on our house or overhangs. And the purpose of these is that during the summer we actually shade our house from the direct sunlight but then during the winter we get that direct sunlight coming in and we get that additional heat. It was through any phone, tablet, device or computer we can monitor how much power we're making, how much power we're using and then how much power we're sending back to the grid. I can also see how much power each circuit in our home is using and this makes the homeowner aware of where the power is going in their house. The other things you can do with this system is send email or text-based alerts so if you leave your stove on it can send you a text message saying go turn your solar. Watershed utilizes a lot of solar. We do it in three different ways. We have solar panels on the roof which convert sunlight into electricity. We have solar thermal which converts sunlight into heat and we also have plants which is something that people don't normally think about but that helps filter all the water that we have and that we use in the house and that falls on site. One of the first things that people notice when they come up to our project is our bifacial solar canopy and we actually have 42 195 watt panels that combine to form an 8.2 kilowatt array. And what's special about these panels is that they collect light not only from the top but also from below. Chesapeake Bay Watershed is obviously very important to us. We all live in the watershed and we know that there's a lot of pollution and a lot of problems that it's facing by managing our stormwater runoff and actually filtering the water before it goes out. This house and the user are actively helping to mitigate this problem. This is the bio-wall. It's a plant filtration system in the in-home. It's actually connected to our air conditioner so when that runs it actually sucks air through the plants and the plants are moving in chemicals that are present in the environment. For example, you paint a wall. That new paint smells very toxic, very dangerous to us. The plants actually take that chemical out of the air and use it as nutrients for themselves. Our operable lube panels respond to the weather in South Florida. Once they're in the opposition, like now, they provide shading for the house which reduces your heat gain inside your house which in turn reduces your energy consumption because you don't run your air conditioning. Once they close against the house, they provide you with privacy at night. They allow for natural breezes to flow through the house if the glass walls are open like now. They are also a prototype for hurricane protection. With professional labor, we could have these houses be manufactured and could be pre-built within two weeks then set up for a disaster relief in any situation within a day if that for any family in need. The house is solar powered so we don't need to tie to a grid. Right here we're proposing to drop a piece of infrastructure for the city of New York on its underutilized green roof. I want to hopefully be a driver for the future of affordable housing. This is not just a model, but it is actually a home that someone will live in. Her name is Laquilla Coley. She is from the DC community. She has three children all under the age of five. We actually found her through one of our partners, Habitat for Humanity of Washington DC. This house is built using passive concepts so it's super insulated. Our homeowner will save about $2,300 every year and with over 30 years we'll get a payback of $100,000. About 50% of our home will be paid back to her in 30 years.
