A net zero home generates as much electricity on site as it consumes in a year. So, in theory, any energy that the building takes from the electrical grid is returned. Net zero design is much more holistic than buying a bunch of solar panels. You are in control – by balancing load demands through intelligent management, and with integrated back-up systems you have peace of mind with failsafe operation.
Energy recovery heat pipes from Heat Pipe Technology (HPT) provide economical and reliable recovery of both heating and cooling. This means that the payback time of your investment is minimal. HPT heat pipes are economical because of their low initial cost and minimum maintenance requirement. The only maintenance required is periodic cleaning.
I have several patents of my own that serve the ZEB system
The world’s climate is under pressure and time is running out. The demand for clean energy is greater than the supply, and the need for smart solutions is urgent.
Hydrogen from renewables can be produced through various pathways, with the most established being the use of renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyser. Electrolysers – which split hydrogen and oxygen – can make power systems more flexible, helping to integrate high shares of variable renewables.
In the long run, hydrogen could become a key element in 100% renewable energy systems.
Fuel cells rely on an anode and cathode, like a conventional battery system. The device uses hydrogen to power the anode while oxygen feeds the cathode. Anodes separate hydrogen molecules into protons and electrons. The electrons create a flow of clean electricity, which residents can utilize to fuel their electric home heaters. When individuals use hydrogen-derived electricity for heating, they release zero greenhouse gas emissions in the process. The technology effectively minimizes atmospheric emissions and preserves indoor air quality.
