The circular shapes of the house reflect the silos that dot the rolling hills of upstate New York, which served as the primary design inspiration for the team. The Silo House is a modular structure with three interconnecting cylindrical rooms. The Design Challenge Finals 2022 was held on May 7 th and 8 th where, the finalist teams of Solar Decathlon India 2021-22 Challenge presented their state-of-the-art net-zero and climate-resilient designs to the Division Jury, who are experts from the industry. The Silo House, built in 2009 for the biennial Solar Decathlon Competiton in Washington, D.C., was Cornell University's third and final entry to the Solar Decathlon Competition. Honoring their commitment to raise public awareness, the team members worked with Ithaca city schools to introduce students to solar energy and energy efficiency. The different perspectives that came into building our first project sowed the first seeds for potentially doing a larger quantity and wider range of projects.Ī unique feature of the Cornell house is the 'Light Canopy,' a streamlined framework of steel trusses that support a PV system, evacuated tubes for water and space heating, and vegetated latticework panels called 'greenscreens' that provide shade in summer. For night time, the team used compact fluorescent bulbs wiht an energy consumption of 15 to 30 watts throughout the house. On the contrary, in the evening, full-spectrum bulb lighting is advisable it endorses production of melatonin, the hormone of sleep and physical regeneration.The CUSD plan for the sustainable house design was unique as it combined architectural elements to allow daylight to fill the house despite the time of day. The blue light, so typical for LED, stimulates activity. In an environment with mostly artificial lighting, the color spectrum of the light source is crucial. In a natural environment, its most important synchronizer is a regular variation of light and darkness. It is operated by the so-called inner biological clock. Why? The human organism functions in a certain natural – circadian rhythm (in Latin circa - roughly, diem – day).
In the interior, we use LED lighting only in some places and with due consideration (the kitchen counter, indirect lighting in the bathroom, overall lighting of the living area) and we supplement it with local bulb lighting.
Starting in 2002, the US Department of Energy sponsors a biannual competition where twenty universities from around the world design and construct an innovative and efficient net-zero home. In the AIR House, LED light sources are ideal and in the exterior, they are used exclusively. Illinois Solar Decathlon was formed in 2007 after the universitys involvement in three past Solar Decathlon competitions. Manufacturers claim that, compared to a standard light bulb, LED lighting saves 85% of energy and their life span is 35 times longer. The hot-air ventilation unit is connected to an outer loop control and intelligent house control with data collection. In the AIR House, the interior air quality is provided by a Duplex RB4 EC ATREA hot-air ventilation unit. Heat recuperation ventilation system ensures optimal air exchange and during ventilation minimizes heat loss, which represents up to 40% of the entire loss of the building in standard family houses. During winter and for the competition purposes, we will use recuperation of waste heat. In the Czech Republic climate, the house will be ventilated naturally most of the year.

To learn more about where the houses from the U.S. For the use in Czech Republic, the house features a standalone PV unit for ensuring the operation of common appliances with lower power consumption and testing and monitoring the energy self-sufficient concept of the AIR House. Their housesnow located throughout the United States and around the worldcontinue to serve numerous education-, conservation-, and community-oriented functions. During the contest week in US, electrical energy will transfer to the Solar Village micro grid. Developed by the New York City College of Technology, the solar-powered DURAhome fits into a typical 25-by-100-foot New York City lot and can be quickly stacked to create a space-saving multistory. AIR House is equipped with 30 amorphous crystalline panels 350x210x8mm 185 Wp.
