Green Passive Solar Zero Energy Home
Posted by Admin on June 16, 2009
A Green Passive Solar Zero Energy Home is not only energy efficient, but also produces its own power. Just like a typical home, a
Zero Energy Home (ZEH)
is connected to, and uses energy from, the local electric utility. But unlike typical homes, at times the ZEH makes enough power to send
some back to the utility company. Annually, a
ZEH produces enough energy to offset the amount purchased from the utility provider,
resulting in
net-zero annual energy bills.
A ZEH combines state-of-the-art, energy-efficient construction techniques and equipment with renewable energy systems to return as much energy
as it takes on an annual basis. When renewable resources cannot provide the entire home's power (at night or on a cloudy winter day)
the homeowner purchases energy from the utility provider. When renewable resources produce more than the house is using
(during sunny days when no one is home) power is sent back into the utility grid. In some cases, the utility provider
will operate the home's electric meter in reverse, essentially providing the homeowner with full retail value for their energy.

Green building
Posted by Admin on June 16,2009
A sustainable building, or green building is an outcome of a design which focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use - energy,
water, and materials - while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle,
through better sitting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact
of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

Sacred Geometry
Architecture begins with geometry. Since earliest times, architects have relied on mathematical principles.
The ancient Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius believed that builders should always use precise ratios when constructing temples.
"For without symmetry and proportion no temple can have a regular plan," Vitruvius wrote in his famous treatise
De Architecture, or Ten Books on Architecture.
