What must be done to ensure maximum utilization of green energy while constructing a house?
Answer»
Sufficient sunlight should be available in the rooms during day time.
Comfortable warmth, coolness and air circulation must be available without the help of electricity.
Using the sun for heating through south facing windows during the winter lowers heating costs. Shading those same windows in summer lowers cooling costs.
Grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) panels currently provide the most cost- effective form of renewable energy for a zero energy home.
Fresh filtered air and moisture control are critical to its success. This need for ventilation has a silver lining.
