What is an eco friendly house ? What does it usually contains ? Components of eco friendly house Transforming our regular house into eco

friendly house Conclusion

What is Eco Friendly House? A eco friendly house is a type of house designed to be –

Environment friendly Focusing on the efficient use of -

. Energy

. Water

. Building materials

. Other resources Use recycled and renewable materials Reduce pollution and waste Protect occupant’s health

Eco friendly house

Eco Friendly House usually contains - Solar panels Wind turbines Green travel Insulation Window Heat pump GardeningWater conservation

Solar Panels -

Solar panelsPhoto voltaic solar

panels(converts photon particles from

the sun into electricity)

Solar thermal collectors

( use heat from the sun to warm liquid or water)

Wind turbines –

Wind blows the blades

Blades rotate the shaft

A generator converts the rotational energy into electrical energy

Green travel -

Green travel

Hydrogen cars

Electric cars

Bio fuel cars

Cycling

Green

travel

Insulation - Loft insulation

this insulation makes it difficult for heat to pass up through the roof

Cavity wall insulation

this insulation in the walls traps heat within the house

Window – Triple glazing - it keeps the heat inside the

house and thus prevents heat loss from a house

Solar windows - it captures light from the

surface of glass and send it to the photovoltaic cells in the frame

Heat Pump - Air source –

this type of heat pump uses the difference between outdoor air temp. indoor air temp. to cool or heat a home

Ground source –

this type of heat pump makes use of the higher temperature underground to heat water

Gardening – Green house –

it is ideal for growing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables through out the year

Composting –

composting household food waste is an excellent way to increase garden products

Water conservation -

water storage ( here natural water is stored for later use)

rain water collection (it is one of the most efficient and easy ways of saving water)

water saving toilets (here double flush is used to make the toilet water efficient)

Transforming our regular house into eco friendly house – switch to more

power efficient appliances

install solar panels reduce wastage of

energy reuse water use biodegradable

things plant more trees

around your house

Conclusion -

Results in long term positive effect on the environment

Reduces the environmental impact of the construction

Encourages waste reduction and recycling Healthier , cheaper and safer home Beneficial for the environment Maximum water - efficiency Uses renewable materials Conserves energy pollution free
