Minimize. Save Money and Reduce your Carbon Footprint!

To understand how to minimize one must understand and be aware of how one impacts the environment, and take control of the things one can. We are facing a time where minimizing is no longer an option but rather a necessity.  We have to start taking responsibility for the amount of Carbon Footprints we give out.

Automatically the bigger your house is the much larger the carbon footprint.

Our house is where everything starts; it is the core of our life. It is where we gather for birthdays, it is where we share our biggest happiness and endure our deepest suffering.

What's more, it is where we spend the most money and where we give out the most Carbon footprints.

The bigger the house the more energy is spend on cooling and heating, the more money is spend on utilities, which together, go hand in hand with producing a harmful wave of C02. 

Also traditionally, the larger the house, the more materials go into its construction, some harmful, which have their own environmental effect.  By taking up less space and building with The Nano Living system you will not only save money, but also help the environment and be part of the solution and not the cause.

While the awareness of the energy waste problem in the housing sector is relatively low and the ideas of how to solve this problem are even lower, the Nano Living System can provide a very suitable solution as well as be used for demonstration and education purposes for students, journalists, politicians and local governments, as well as for civic engineers, new building owners, and developers. By visiting a model house they can learn the different ways to conserve energy and reduce their carbon footprint.
 

Important things to know ...

Burning any type of fuel has a negative impact on the environment. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and contribute to smog-production chemicals and greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. However, some non-renewable fuels are better than others. The Nano House instead uses the sun. In order for this to work the house needs to be properly oriented to absorb free energy on sunny days, helping reduce your reliance on burning anything or any type of external electrical source. Additionally, both passive and active solar heating system can be used on the Nano House. The Nano House is a patented architectural passive design that utilizes passive solar heating by using special exterior facade panels created for the Nano house, properly orientating the house for maximum or minimum sun exposure (depending on where and the type of climate in which the house is built) and proper orientation and location of windows for heating and cooling, as well as for cross ventilation. Active solar heating for the Nano House includes the incorporation of solar panels; solar storage systems designed to increase the density of the captured energy; solar water heaters and water collection systems. Within the broad range of ”renewable fuels” there are many different solar thermal technology options that we can use.

Passive Solar Heating
Passive solar energy is free, non-polluting and renewable. Then why don‘ more people use it? Many People think that creating a passive solar home will be expensive and weird looking. However, the Nano House does not require complicated electronics or miles of glass to be a passive solar building.
