house model

the next set of tutorials on this channelwill cover the different areas of the model, namely: photovoltaic panels, solar thermalpanels, small wind turbine, passive solar design, passive solar ventilation, movementof louvers, led lighting, water pump, rainwater tanks, green roof, heatsinks, clerestory,and so on. this is the sustainable architecture modelwhich we are going to use to explain some

house model, of the component and areas of sustainablearchitectural design. quickly-just an overview of the model. we have the photovoltaic panelright there. we have a green roof. we have louvers, and i will demonstrate how they worklater. we have a small wind turbine. we have an additional louver to the east or the westof the building. we have a led light, some

led lights, on the inside which you can’tseee. i will show that later. we have a strip light with tiny little led’s. we have watertanks where we harvest the water which runs from this building down and into the watertanks, which will be reused. whitewater and grey water. whitewater meaning filtered, whichwe could use for drinking and grey water which could be used in the gardens and so on. wehave a green roof. we have a solar thermal panel at the back here which i will show now,and this model is controlled with a transmitter. the sustainable model, which we will use toexplain sustainable features and functions in sustainable architecture, is based on remotecontrol aircraft equipment. the transmitter over here, in very simple terms, sends a signalor communicates with this jet or stryker-foamie-made

out of foam. it runs on a 11.1 volt lipo battery.some electronics in here, just an electronic speed controller at the bottom right thereat the back sits a receiver. the small receiver is the communication, the telephone line betweenthe transmitter and the receiver. we have the propeller at the back. the rudders rightthere and the ailerons right over there. we are now going to quickly switch it on andillustrate how it works. we are going to power up the stryker jet now. first, switch on thetransmitter. the second thing we do is we connect the battery to the jet. you can hearthe jet communicating with the transmitter. it is an 11.1 volt battery, that gets strappedin there like so. push, just push the wires in, and make sure everything is under thecover. put the cover over. what we have is,

is the plane right there. uhm we can see thefunction of the servos. there one of the servos is in the wing, right there. it is just alittle square box with an arm on it, and when i move this joystick, or stick, like so. leftand right it would just push the aileron up and down in this instance. that one worksthe rudder as you can see. there you are. so this stick controls thepropeller at the back, so we are just going to give it a full throttle quickly. so this stick controls the throttle, the rudderand the ailerons. up, down, left roll, and right roll. up, down, left, and right rollfor the jet. we are going to use the functions of the servos to illustrate how a model forsustainable architecture cloud work, for instance

how it powers the louvers and so on. this model communicates with a transmittera typical transmitter used for model aircraft. the transmitter will move the louvers. wehave powered the house, the receiver is communicating with the transmitter. so, the first thingi would like to show is the louver on the clerestory moves up and down. so the sun sitshigher in the sky during summer and lower in winter. so i lift it up, so the sun whichsits over here somewhere which shines through the window and heats up the stack. however,during summer, during winter …during summer the louver would move down, and as the sunsits higher in the sky now we can adjust the angle so that it would screen out the sunand keep the building cool. the other alternative

or option is where the lower louver can alsomove up and down, and again it will be up during winter so that the sun can get intothe building. but lower during summer to screen the sun from the building. so we don’t wantthe sun to shine into the building and heat up the building because we want it to be coolduring summer. the third option, i am going to flick this switch here, and that wouldopen the roof. uhm, we could use this option or function for passive ventilation, in otherwords, the warm stale air would escape. we can program all this electronically so thatonce it reaches a certain temperature inside the house, or the air gets stale, it wouldjust open quickly and close again and release that stale air. now the ideal would be tohave some vents at the bottom here, and opening

right there. so once you open the clerestory,and the warm air escapes, cool air and fresh air will enter the building through the vents.that is a simple principle of passive ventilation. you can see some openings there, speciallyprovided for passive ventilation over there. the new model evolved from this older modeland you can just see it is a simple structure, with a pitched roof right there, some wallsmade out of timber. a solar panel, a battery, inverter, some switches, a buzzer, and somemore. a different angle of the old model - additionally you can see a strobe, buzzer, some switchesto do tests with and a led light. the next couple of images shows the construction ofthe new model to illustrate sustainable architecture. the next set of tutorials on this channelwill cover the different areas of the model

in depth, namely: photovoltaic panels, solarthermal panels, small wind turbine, passive solar design, passive ventilation, movementof louvers, led lighting, water pumps, rainwater tanks, green roof, heatsinks, clerestory,and more.
