PROJECT OPERATING AS AN ISLAND WITHOUT CONNECTION TO UTILITY LINES
CZECH SUSTAINABLE HOUSE
Location: Kyselov, Český Krumlov
Date of construction: from 2019
Info: The houses are powered through a single power source of photovoltaic power plant with an installed capacity of 10 kWp, complemented with an extremely durable and high quality GWL lithium-phosphate battery storage with 20 kWh capacity and the selected bricks, all of which are demonstrably sourced from the Czech Republic, minimise the energy consumption of the house and help maintain both winter and summer thermal comfort. During winter, heating and hot water will be provided by an 8 kW pellet boiler. It will also recharge batteries as required thanks to the installed Stirling capacitor, which can convert heat to power.
Rain water will be collected in 16 m3 underground tanks, providing approx. half of the potable water compared with a regular house. Furthermore, after treatment, rain water will be used for flushing, washing and showers. It will also be used to water the garden and the waste water will be treated in a bio treatment plant and will seep into the ground.
