Smart home in the US Honda is ready for testing Bashny.Net

Honda Smart House US is already built in the University of California. The house will serve as a target for testing the future of housing. 44 percent of all greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere in the US, are ejected from their homes and cars. In designing the house was taken into account the need to neutralize these emissions. In addition, the house generates enough solar energy to refuel the car and use electricity at home.

House manages HEMS - energy management system from Honda. The system is in a garage, and controls and optimizes energy consumption. Next to the system installed capacity of 10 kWh battery - it is used to store the energy collected by a solar photovoltaic power sitemy 9, 5 kW installed on the roof.





Foundation of the house serves as a concrete slab, consisting half of pozzolan ( pulverized product, a mixture of volcanic ash, pumice, tuff i>), which is found in the earth and formed from volcanic ash deposits. Due to the fact that the pozzolan need not be heated to the same temperature as that of the cement, Honda construction phase reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

Heating and cooling of the house are made using geothermal heat pumps. The same system supplies hot water for the household. Water is heated in the tank, you take a shower, and then drained from the water bath is used to heat the cold city water.



Fusion of the shower water after inflame cold water at the tap, pumped in four heat tank installed in the backyard of the house. There ground heat warms the water a little stronger, after which the water is sent back into the house - for heating. Water flows through the tubes disposed in the floor, roof and ceiling. Likewise, water can be cooled in the summer house.

During the construction of the house were also taken into account climatic conditions. On the north side windows provide natural light and ventilation. South-facing windows are designed to optimize heating and cooling. Double walls, metal roof and foundation are also designed to improve energy efficiency.



Honda, among other things, modify its electric car, so he can be recharged directly from the solar panels. This also reduces costs. Throughout the house Intelligent lighting, work depending on the ambient light and time of day. Honda for this project worked in conjunction with the California Lighting Technology Center.

On assurances of developers, Honda Smart House US is three times more efficient in terms of water consumption than any house of similar size in the area.
