Reducing Energy & Water Consumption • Waterless washing machines- Sanyo’s Aqua uses Ozone to break down bacteria and dirt • Waterless dishwashers- Rockpool uses liquefied CO2 to emulsify and remove greases and waste food material • Recycling of used/dirty water • Water-efficient aerated tap/shower heads • Energy-saving light bulbs (3W LED Spotlighting) • Heat and motion sensors in tandem to turn off appliances when not in use Kitchen Bathroom
Oxygen, Water & Thermoregulation Below: System for maintaining breathability of atmosphere (extracting CO2 and providing O2) and also for obtaining energy from hydro-electrolysis Above: The thermoregulation system for keeping the building warm. Water pumped from the tanks on the upper floor and heated by electric immersion heaters, created convection currents within rooms. Double-skinned spiral staircase column used to move warm air between floors
Utilities, Panic Room & Food From Plants Panic Room • Small sealed room in one corner of the building allocated solely for use in emergencies • Emergency supplies of food, water, oxygen tanks and plants to stabilise atmosphere and potentially provide food • Independent batteries that can provide energy (mainly to power the distress beacon) as a back-up for when the power from the rest of building goes down
