About this listen
Here I discuss my latest home design project for an efficient home. I chose the triangular extrusion shape in lumber framing; for cost, feasibility and practicality of its design and construction. I equipped the home for optimum efficiency for a moderate climate location. This home is small, 3 rooms total. And it is completely self-sustained and off the grid. It has solar energy and LPG powered appliances. It runs all electronics on a 48 volt system. And it has food growing and water collection as features for sustainability.0:00 Introduction to the efficient home project2:17 Project location details3:39 Architectural style details7:39 Construction materials9:55 Comments on Architectural & material choices11:06 Interior temperature controls16:12 Electrical air conditioning18:18 Kitchen equipment - electrical19:02 Kitchen equipment - non-electrical21:38 Water heating - non-electrical22:20 Lighting22:34 Ventilation23:00 Office equipment23:30 Shop equipment24:05 Laundry equipment24:17 Total home electrical load25:35 Electrical energy - PV solar27:00 electrical calculations for PV system29:55 Water distribution31:19 Exterior layout32:58 Interior layoutLiving Off the Grid in the City Radio Show (Legacy)https://www.youtube.com/hbcsolarpvtechbyronhttps://www.youtube.com/@hbcsolarpvtechhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552559207892https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWqApEqGtc5tJy1BbtZaohmLi5F0-DFZPatreon page: https://www.patreon.com/hectorvladimirSubstack page: https://hectorvladimir.substack.com/For information purposes only.
