Abstract
In the wake of the greenhouse effect and global energy crisis, finding sources of clean, alternative energy and developing everyday life applications have become urgent tasks. This study proposes the development of an “autonomous house” emphasizing the use of modern green energy technology to reduce environmental load, achieve energy autonomy and use energy intelligently in order to create a sustainable, comfortable living environment. The houses’ two attributes are: (1) a self-sufficient energy cycle and (2) autonomous energy control to maintain environmental comfort. The autonomous house thus combines energy-conserving, carbon emission-reducing passive design with active elements needed to maintain a comfortable environment.
Highlights
Background and GoalsEfforts to promote the application and utility of energy since the beginning of the 20th century have resulted in the invention of many types of energy-consuming active equipment and household appliances
The study establishes the outline of a feasible hydrogen energy-based autonomous house that will produce no pollution and waste no energy
Suggestions for future research are as follows: (1) Independent island-type residential power generation and use model: This study has focused on the development of autonomous urban residential linked to public power system sand it is hoped that household-based distributed electrical systems can reduce dependence on large central power plants
Summary
Efforts to promote the application and utility of energy since the beginning of the 20th century have resulted in the invention of many types of energy-consuming active equipment and household appliances. Due to growing awareness of the vulnerability of the Earth's ecological environment, environmentalists have promoted energy-conserving passive design since the late 20th century. In the wake of the greenhouse effect and global energy crisis, the dawn of the 21st century has forced the world to confront the contradiction between energy-conserving sustainable passive design and energyconsuming active design meeting the need for comfort. This has resulted in the new paradigm of intelligent energy use. Communities and dwellings should employ new methods such as sensors, storage batteries and energy converters to improve the home environment [1]. This study advocates the development of a "bio-hydrogen energy based autonomous house" employing alternative energy in conjunction with environmental sensors, computing technology and active architectural elements to improve on some of the performance shortcomings of passive houses
