  1. Technical Core Prefabricated energy management system Includes kitchen, bathroom, mechanical room and associated system controls and plumbing Makes construction safer, cheaper and easier

  2. Solar Power Photovoltaic Modules Outputs energy as DC electricity DC is converted to AC using an inverter Conversion losses can be as high as 10% Fig. 1 http://energytechstocks.com

  3. Mitsubishi Electric Photovoltaic Modules We recommend the Mitsubishi Electric TD175MF5 Not actually part of the technical core Necessary to power it and the home 175 Watt panels Output approximately 1.17 kWh per day 28 panels recommended for our prototype Fig. 2 http://www.wholesalesolar.com

  4. ENGINEERING DESIGN 100 Solar Home Technical Core Section 8 Christopher Pedley Joshua Hill Angel Marrero Timothy Borysowski

  5. Unimplemented Concepts Fig. 3 http://www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov Green Roof Too unsightly and potentially high maintenance Too farfetched for a marketable home • Consolidate all high energy using appliances to reduce transmission losses • Electrical losses too insignificant to warrant the inconvenience Fig. 4 http://www.kingskitchens.com

  6. Cost Initial cost estimate of materials (not including manufacturing or labor costs): Approximately $51,000 Including cost of solar panels: Approximately $73,000 Fig. 5 http://www.pensionriskmatters.com

  7. Heat Pump Goodman Self-contained Heat Pump Acts as an AC unit in the summer Reverses and acts as a heater in the winter Electric back-up heater Fig. 6 http://www.alpinehomeair.com

  8. Solar Hot Water Heater Fig. 7 http://www.htproducts.com/superstorsolar.html Superstor Solar SE Series Solar Water Heater Powered directly by designated solar panels Direct power from solar panels saves energy over AC conversion

  9. What is Gray Water? Gray water is all waste water except water from the toilet Gray Water Recycling System Toilet uses only water that would otherwise be wasted Fig. 8 http://www.needplumbingsupplies.com Fig. 9

  10. Mechanical Room Houses the water heater and heat pump Contains control panel that monitors and regulates the systems

  11. Electrical System DC AC DC DC Fig. 10

  12. Energy Bills Average home energy costs for 2008: $2200 Up 39% from last year Household appliances use an average of 20% of home energy Lighting uses 11% Fig. 11 http://blog.kir.com
