Inspired by Nature, LEED, Living Building and BPM
On planet earth - 2 out of 3 people are living in poverty conditions
- 1 of each 5 people do not have access to drinking
water. Wars will be fought about water
- Human population will grow to 9 billion by 2050
- Human population might grow to 15 billion by 2100
- Before or after 2100 more than half of the human
race will be exterminated, stabilizing around 5 billion.
Caused by depletion of resources by humans
By the 20th of August of 2014, humans will have
used all resources this planet can produce in
one year time.
By the 17th of august 2015, we will have used all
resources produced by the planet next year.
Humanity will be confronted with 4 major problems:
- Energy scarcity
- Water scarcity
- Food scarcity
- Waste and pollution
House powered with HIT
solar panels
All new electronics are Energy Star label A+.
A solar boiler saves you a lot of
energy
All 1st floor windows are double glazed for less heat and more safety.
(LEED)
All windows provide access to air and natural
light (Living Building)
The entire house uses natural ventilation (LEED + Living Building)
All exterior walls were made with Eco blocks that insulate the house
against heat. (LEED)
All rooms are downstairs
This house is hurricane proof category 5
Energy savings
Inverter air conditioner and fridge
All lighting is LED
Avoiding environmental pollution by open copper mines, all pipelines for
water are made with PEX-A
All toilets and faucets are water saving type (LEED)
Energy saving and water capture
Applied roof paint* reflects 90% of sun rays and increases the energy efficiency of the house up to 35%
Flat roof. Storm water is being captured for re-use in the garden or to overcome months without water supply. 9000 Liter
* Energy Star rated roof paint
Part of the terrain is dedicated to agriculture (Living Building)
Food safety
From the red list of chemicals that you should not use in your home, we avoided 13
out of 14. (Living Building)
All indoor paint is cero (0) VOC and all outdoor paint
is Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)
The chemical storage area has open
ventilation to protect indoor air quality
(Living Building)
Recycling at home. PET, HDPE, paper and Aluminum cans
(Living Building) All Pet plastic bottles and aluminum cans
from the construction workers
were recycled.
Compost of organic
materials (Pending)
Recycled concrete driveway (pending)
Cactus has been saved. Use local vegetation
Soil should not leave the site
(LEED)
Door frames made with wood from
sustainable plantation systems
At 2.3 millions of human evolution and 6000 years of recorded human
history and we are still building inefficiently and wasting our planet!!!! ???? – Green Force
