全太阳能别墅

别墅

建筑设计：史蒂文斯理工学院  这是由史蒂文斯理工学院设计的全太阳能别墅，位于美国加州南部。设计者将该别墅紧凑的空间设计得十分舒适。史蒂文斯理工学院与繁华而拥挤的纽约市隔河相望，那里的风景让人流连忘返。 整个别墅是一个简单的低矮的L形，有两个模块构成，整个别墅占地1300平方米，在内部可以涵盖所有的家庭生活和工作生活，还有一个车库以及一个模拟海滩。在居住空间，除了主卧外，有两个单人卧室，以及一个浴室。此外，该设计还特别注重了户外的娱乐生活，随处可见运动设施。该设计采用了分水收集系统，其中包括了屋顶花园、绿墙以及屋顶排水系统。室内安装了热水系统，使用了节能热水器，使用的热水器比正常的热水器节省更多的能量，并能够提醒用户，当它达到了一个合适的温度是就会自动断电，同时又能够保存足够的温度。 在别墅中的各种系统均经过了智能检测，并专门做了职能的备份，会收集记录室内的各项数据，如温度、湿度以及运动时间等。这个建筑采用了全太阳能设计，屋顶部分铺设了大量的太阳能电池板，为室内提供充足、必要的能源支持。  译者： 砖头  Stevens Institute's Ecohabit Home Stands Out with Photovoltaic Shingles at the Solar Decathlon 2013 If anyone should know about designing a compact space for ultimate comfort, it's the students at the Stevens Institute in Hoboken, NJ. Team Stevens, whose school sits directly across the river from bustling and crowded NYC, brought their Ecohabit house to the Solar Decathlon in Irvine, CA just days ago, and they're already blowing visitors away. The 1,300 square foot home is a simple, low-slung L-shaped construction made up of two modules—a ‘dry module’ that hosts all of the home’s living areas and a ‘wet module’ containing all of Ecohabit’s plumbing and mechanical systems. Though the team came from the east coast, they opted to design Ecohabit with southern California temperatures in mind. The home features a single bedroom, a single bathroom, and places heavy emphasis on outdoor living. To save on water, Ecohabit uses a three-component water harvesting system that includes the roof garden, green wall, and roof drainage system. The home also uses an on-demand hot water system that requires much less energy to heat water and alerts the user when it reaches a comfy heat for showering, washing dishes, etc. This completely alleviates the need to run excess water to reach an optimal temperature. All of the systems in the home are backed up by a smart detection system that has been developed exclusively for Ecohabit. To gather info, “smart detectors” are placed throughout the home, collecting data such as temperature, humidity, and motion. There’s no question that Team Stevens will be a top contender at this year’s Solar Decathlon, but will they take home top prize? The team is hoping that this year’s win will top their 2011 victory in the ‘Affordability’ category.
