My EcoHouse, Nemesis, was designed from start to finish to maximise energy efficiency. The south facing side was high and made almost entirely from glass, with a conservatory to store/trap heat. The north was low to the ground to minimise heat loss from cold northerly winds. The whole structure was built on a rectangular chassis base raised approx. 6" above ground to accommodate under the house (This prevents poisonous gas building up in the house, especially necessary in areas of high contamination or where there is a risk of radon gas; Radon gas is a naturally occurring gas that is emitted through the ground from granite rock.) The ground clearance and rigged base structure was also designed to enable the whole unit to be moved in one piece if desired. To have insulation filled cavity walls and a turfed roof (helps moderate extreme temperatures and provides extra food growing space and wildlife habitat, blends house into the natural environment). The side walls were to be covered with vines for the same reasons as he turfed roof, vines would be grown in pots attached to the structure, so would be moved with the house without disturbance. Plumbing Rainwater to be collected from the long sloping roof, filtered and separated into two parts. One part to be gravity fed into the conservatory irrigation system (grey/used water would also be fed into the irrigation system), the other part to be gravity fed via passive solar panels on the roof, (and then into a wood burning water boiler for winter use), to the shower unit and other washing facilites Electricity I was undecided about electricity (not very 'green') but a wind generator could be mounted on the opposite corner of the roof to the flag (see picture) providing 12v or 240v ac or dc. ALL MATERIALS FOR THIS HOME WERE RECLAIMED On the day of the eviction a meal of fruit was left on a small round wicker table in the conservatory complete with a wicker chair for some comfortable fruit eating... ^L o v e ^a n _d B ^e ^a ^u ^t y a r e h a r d e r t o _d _e _s _t _r _o _y _. _. _.
