The diagram illustrates a passive and active heating and cooling system for a home during the winter and fall, with particular attention to the use of solar and geothermal energy.
It shows the north-south orientation of the house and the solar angles, indicating how the winter sunlight at 17° and the autumn sunlight at 40° influence the solar radiation on the facade.
The house incorporates passive design features, such as triple-glazed windows with low-e coating and masonry walls and floors that act as thermal mass to store solar heat during the day and release it at night.
A rainwater harvesting system is integrated for reuse, contributing to the sustainability of the house.
A ground source geothermal heating system is shown underground, using the ground's thermal energy to heat the home.
The system includes solar hot water tanks, photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation and a rainwater tank, demonstrating an integrated approach to energy efficiency.
