So what has it been like living in a sustainable home..... Well the results have proven themselves to a large extent... with the house never getting below 17 degrees C at any time during the year and with the DSHH system now having stored quite a lot of heat in the core this coming year we shouldn't get below 22 degrees all year round.
The photovoltaic system has been churning out power on a regular basis and we have generated nearly 3 megawatts over the year.The house has been cosy and warm all year, low humidity and hence feels really healthy and while we have had a few minor hiccups with the systems they appear to have now settled down.
January was an excellent sunny month with the best month yet in power generated with 354.6 Kilo watts generated with over half the days getting close to the 15KW per day.
Look out for the full analysis of the first year including comparisons against the original specifications and cost benefits later in the month.
