The energy Efficient Dwelling will incorporate a range of technology to reduce expenditure on overall running costs of the home. Active technology involves wind turbines, a rainwater harvesting system and solar panels orientated for maximum solar gain. The house will also be orientated in such that natural lighting will be maximised. Passive house techniques have also been used such as a cooling floor slab foundation which will be used in conjunction with a clerestory roof to provide an adequate flow of cool air throughout the day. The construction method used will be simple and affordable through the use of ICF modules and as many locally sourced and reclaimed materials as possible. A stone panelling exterior finish will protect against weather extremes through absorbing heat during the day and releasing stored heat during cold nights whilst retaining a beautiful stone vernacular.
