Pentortoise Green Model: Eco-Home

ecohome09

After con­cider­able amounts of recearch and input from freinds of the Eco-project, we have a basic model of the Eco-Home and the­ory model, we will build the model in 3d to get the footage right then we will make a foam­board ver­sion for pre­sen­ta­tion and to brain­storm for more effec­tives or alter­na­tive solutions.

As you can see from the sketch we are using var­i­ous fea­tures to nat­u­rally work with nature and her ele­ments, for exam­ple the sun in the sum­mer month will only touch the base of the solar­ium while in the win­ter month, a lower sun will enter the solar­ium for max­i­mum expo­sure to day­light and year round gar­den­ing in the solar­ium. The north­ern roof is sloped to will allow for min­i­mum wind expo­sure dur­ing the win­ter months min­i­miz­ing heat loss.

The process is very excit­ing and as always your input is val­ued and welcomed.
