Self-sufficient solar house 2000
Abstract
The concept of a building totally independent of any other energy source than solar radiation is presently being developed at our institute. Thermal conversion of solar energy by means of "Transparent Insulation Materials" provides energy for space heating and "Domestic Hot Water". Photovoltaic cells drive a closed loop Hydrogen/Oxygen System for high exergy energy demands. Pressurized gas-containers are used for compensating differences in solar supply and demand. For periods with very low input the H2/02-System also serves as back up for heating purposes.
