Autonomous Typology By Chelseay Frith Autonomous Building Operated
Autonomous Typology By: Chelseay Frith
Autonomous Building Operated services independently from infrastructural support Electric power grid, gas grid, municipal water systems, and sewage treatment systems Reduces Environmental impacts Increase Security by using on-site resources Energy Efficient in Operation Sustainability Producing no more greenhouse gases than they consume
Disadvantages Complete independence is hard to attain Sacrifices It Lifestyle choices, personal behavior, and social expectations can be a full time job keeping it up Custom Built depending on climate
Systems WATER SEWAGE Rain water collection for non drinkable water Composting toilets uses bacteria to decompose sewage to compost Well system for drinkable water Gravity tanks and pumps Incinerating toilets turns sewage into ash Solar Stills produce drinking water NASA’s Bioreactor turns sewage into air and water Septic Tank
Systems ELECTRICITY HEATING Solar panels Geothermal Heating Wind Turbines Passive Solar Heating Water Mills Geo Solar Systems Earth Batteries ( Telluric Current) Earth Sheltering Wood Burning Stove
Systems COOLING FOOD PRODUCTION Shading systems Gardening Geothermal Cooling Evaporative Cooling Urban Gardening (indoors and outdoors) Using a Heat Pump Greenhouses Farms
The Cropthorne Autonomous House is carbon Negative Obtains its services entirely from the land No space heating Super-Insulated, Triple-glazed and Thermally massive Built in England
Brighton Earthship House Use of low impact materials in construction - using local, recycled, waste, natural and renewable materials Passive Solar Design – windows to capture the heat. Renewable Energy - zero fossil fuel consumption Rain Water Collection Using plants to treat waste watertreatment using plants and natural processes. Built in england
