Eco Friendly HouseKayla

Its Easy being Green!

JayAKay provides you with all of your need. We offer our

customers a natural environment that is just as comfortable as any other house would be. Our living structure is composed mostly of environmentally friends materials of the finest quality. The drywall is actually EcoRock– a replacement that uses less energy to make and produces less greenhouse gasses. POLLI-brick-which is made from recycled materials- was also used constructing our building. Water -from the community sinks in the bathroom -come out as an effective mist that still cleans your hands properly. Living in our quarters lets you sleep better knowing your doing your part to save the earth.

 

Air source heat pump

Air source heat pump

Provide one and half to three times more heat for home than electrical energy it receive

Moves heat opposed to convert it into fuel

Recycling bins

Ground Source Heat Pump

Ground Source heat pump

Its easy to reuse items opposed to throwing them away

Water purification system

Get access to water from the ground water spring

Goes through the filters Pumps water through out the house Goes through aerobic treatment unit Goes through the septic tank Goes into the drain field Drains water into the soil Water pumped back into the springs

Spring Water

Ground Spring

Areas where ground water comes out of the holes in the rocks

Advantage of using this system is that the homeowner doesn’t have to pay a monthly bill or pay for water regulations

This type of system works better than other systems because it is consist of more clean water than others

Carbon Filter

Carbon Filters

Get rid of the following……. Chemicals Chlorine Bad tastes and odors Partially hydrogen sulfide Partially heavy metals Radon Sediment Vocs

Reverse Osmosis System

Reverse Osmosis System

Get rid of the following….. Bacteria Chlorine Metal Pollutants Dissolved organic solids(salts) Bad taste, odor, appearance

Carbon vs. Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis only purge bacteria Carbon Filters only purge chemicals

Both filters are needed to ensure that homeowners have clean healthy water

Aerobic Treatment Unit

Aerobic Treatment Unit

Pre treats wastewater by adding air to break down organic matter, reduce pathogens, and transform nutrients

Creates an environment consisting of high amount of oxygen and organic matter is used to break down the bacteria

Once the process is completed the wastes goes through the septic tank system

Septic Tank

Septic Tank

A tank built underground and the wastes is broken down by the bacteria

As the wastes leaves the aerobic treatment unit, the solids will settle to the bottom. The liquids will flow through the system into the drain fields. The bacteria in the soil will break down the wastes.

Drain fields

Drain fields

Network of holes laid in the gravel filled beds

After the materials settle into the septic tank, the wastewater is removed by pressure or gravity

The wastewater ends up in the drain fields

Combined heat and power unit

Combined Heat and Power Unit

Generates power and thermal energy from a single fuel source

Decrease energy costs Reduces emission of greenhouse gases

Composting Toilet

Composting Toilet

Doesn’t use water to drain the waste Allow natural processes to decompose Decompose for a year before emptying Doesn’t smell if there is a vent pipe

and drain

Benefits of Composting Toilet

Saves water The waste goes back into soil which

improves the quality of soil Electricity isn’t needed Don’t need pipe to transport waste to

sewage farm Don’t need a truck to remove waste

Energy Efficient Condensing Boiler

Energy Efficient Condensing Boiler

Contains an extra heat exchanger that way red hot waste air transfer an amount of heat to start to heat cold water input

Twin coil cylinder

Twin Coil Cylinder

Used for the solar thermal panels to capture the heat

Foam insulation is used to reduce heat losses

Has a coil that heats water using power from boiler and second coil heats water using energy from a solar panel

Triple glazed solar windows

Greenhouse

Solar thermal panel

Solar Thermal Panel

Heat water for home using energy from sun

Water bills will be reduced Reduce amount of carbon dioxide that

is released

Insulation for attic

Insulation for Attic

Reduces heating bills When its cold outside its easy for heat

to escape the home Insulation traps the heat inside of the

home

Geothermal Pump System

Geothermal Pump System

Uses heat from the earth to prove heating, air conditioning, and hot water for the home

During winter heat is pulled from earth into home

During summer heat is pulled out of home into the ground

70% of energy used is renewable energy from ground

Wind Turbine

Wind Turbine

Provide electricity for the greenhouse to power the light bulbs

Covers energy from the winds into electrical energy

electrical energy will be used to power electricity inside of home

Reduces electricity bill

Compost Bin

Compost Bin

Used instead of commercial fertilizers Improve soil quality and improves the

health of plants Inexpensive and a convenient process

Roof Washer

Roof Washer

Removes sediment and debris from collection surfaces shortly after the rain starts to fall

Daily, it collects 0.02 inches of rainfall per square feet of the roof area

Rainwater Collection Tank

Aerator

Aerator

Conserves water and energy Reduces the amount of splashing from

a faucet Attached to end of a faucet The mesh screen helps reduce the flow

of the water

Animals and Evacuation

The animals will be evacuated temporarily until construction is complete. They can come back after fences of bamboo are established

Red Fox evacuation: Rotating beacon lights will scared the foxes far

away. The foxes will be lured by homemade scents. Into long spring traps The traps will be used only if the lights do not work. If trapped, they will be sent to the zoo.

   

Hedgehog evacuation We will be using traps from

http://www.epestsolutions.com/kage-all-raccoon-trap.html to capture hedgehogs and remove them away from the area. The traps will be baited with different kinds of food such as jerky, strawberries and bread. The hedgehogs will be held in a nearby zoo until construction is done and they can return home.

Red Deer evacuation Tranquillizer will be injected into

fruits, vegetables, and imitation grass and put on a table for them to consumer. Multiple tables will be scattered along the area. We will then transport the deer to the zoo until construction is complete.

Our Living Regulations

We provide our family with the safest and most comfortable living area , but in order to keep you and the animals happy, we recommend you follow these handy helping hints:

  ¨ Do not try to interact with the animals. Do not let your children

“play” with them. ¨ The animals are not a threat to us until someone threatens the

safety of their shelter, offspring, or themselves. ¨ Don’t damage our bamboo fence by allowing children to horse

play and climb on it.   Our EcoLivng Center isn’t like other complexes.. Its not always easy

being green but it is better.
