Smart home from Honda will provide energy not only themselves, but also the electric car owner

Honda, it turns out, deals not only with production cars and very fast motorcycle, but also pays some attention to other sectors. Day it was presented the project of smart home, Honda Smart Home US, which is able to produce that amount of energy, which is enough to provide power for the house, and also for regular charging of an electric vehicle Honda Fit EV. Car can be seen, the focus of this project, isn't it?



Generation of energy in the home rests upon a set of solar panels that almost completely cover its roof, and set the geothermal pumps. During the year they are able to generate 15.9 megawatts-hours of electricity, of which the consumption at home will go a 13.3 megawatt-hours. The remaining 2.6 megawatt-hours of electricity can be sent to the centralized power supply network, or use them to charge the electric vehicle.

This amount, for example, is strong enough to overcome the aforementioned Honda Fit EV is about 55 thousand miles, per year, is more than sufficient indicator.





An important characteristic of the project, Honda Smart Home US is the high energy efficiency of the building represented. It is achieved due to a number of low-energy equipment and intelligent energy management that allows you to achieve all of the aforementioned indicators.

In particular, the most effective solutions are "smart" led lighting, facade insulation and energy efficient glazing, as well as the system of rainwater harvesting and economical faucet in the bathroom.



The project, Honda Smart Home US is only conceptual, and no talking about the mass construction of such houses. But the automaker believe that this combination of technologies has the right to a full independent life, and it is likely that in the near future we will see the serial projects based on technologies offered by Honda.
