Enviro Energy House
Our team has designed a residential home to be as self sufficient as possible. The design is focused mostly on the heating and cooling of the house. We came up with a new way to create the heating and cooling of the house with changes to modern cooling by the use of “ice-energy.” The house energy source is supplied by solar cells that retain energy for use and the warmth of the components for heat. Our house is also designed with recyclable materials and products and uses energy-efficient components, such as windows, refrigerators, and lighting. Not only does the house have smart technology, but it recycles the sun’s energy and the rain’s water to help keep our environment clean and stable, while at the same time keeping long term expenses way down.
