Smart home generates more electricity than he uses Bashny.Net

The University of Wales claims to have built the first intelligent low-carbon building in the UK, which is energopromyshleny, i.e., generating more electricity than he uses.





 

Home Solcer House was built in the framework of a certain project at Swansea University in the framework of the project with Cardiff University. It was designed as a presentation of a prototype technology that demonstrates the possibility of achieving low-carbon goals.

The house itself is located in the district paila, a small town in the South of Wales, and is part of a project called SOLCER, developed by the Welsh low carbon research Institute.

Energy-positive status is achieved by reducing energy consumption, energy supply from renewable sources and energy storage for later use. Electricity is also imported from the national grid when required, and exported back when there is an excess.





For the construction of the house was also used low-carbon cement. To reduce power consumption, the house has established a highly efficient thermal insulation, structural insulated panels, external insulation and low-emissivity, double-glazed in aluminium case wooden frames for Windows and doors.

Also used solar collectors are the external type. They include perforated paneling on the outside of the house that draws air into the cavity and heats it using the sun's rays. Then, through the vent, it enters the house as a cheap method of heating.

Electricity is generated using photovoltaic glass array of solar panels with a capacity of 4.3 kW. It is fully integrated into South-facing roof of the house, eliminating the need to install. The energy that is required immediately, stored in the home battery, with a capacity of 6,9 kW. This energy is used for heating, ventilation, hot water systems and appliances.

The time required for the construction of this house, was only 16 weeks. published
