The Eco Home (Eco Tourism) accommodation/building is a modular a building that is constructed in modules of 3m x 7m. The design requires the modules to be connected along the 7m axis of the module which creates buildings of 21, 42, 63, 84, 105 & 126 square metres. This building is designed to have a north facing (south in the northern hemisphere) side along one of the long walls. This external wall has a series of double glazed windows and doors. This glazing is shaded in the hotter months of the year and allows significant solar gain in the cooler months. The external walls, floor and roof structure are all highly insulated, up to R. 6.9, and this decreases the energy requirements for heating and cooling. The EcoHome uses a unique cooling system which uses indirect evaporative airconditioning and displacement ventilation which is entirely powered by solar generated electricity. This system only uses 10-20% of the power required by normal refrigerated airconditioning. The best and most innovative technology is researched and assessed for use within our Eco Homes. The outcomes of these materials and devices are assessed on their energy efficiency, speed of construction, cost, and ongoing maintenance requirements. The ultimate goal of the research, design and integration is to supply an Eco Home that is as close to carbon neutral as possible.
