Michelle Kaufmann, an architect, remembers leading Laura Bush, the first lady, on a personal tour of one of her prefabricated homes, pointing out its on-demand water heater and explaining how the graywater system recycled waste water.
There is a gas-on-demand water heater, a metal roof made of recycled materials, walls that boost insulation, and paint without volatile organic compounds.
Inspired by the phase change heat transfer during the perspiration of mammals, a sweating-boosted air cooling strategy with on-demand water dripping is proposed.
Its system of fluorescent lights, photocells for lighting circuits, radiant heat in concrete floors and on-demand water heater enable the facility to exceed California's mandated energy efficiency standards by 40percentt.
This paper reports how systems engineering principles can be used to automate irrigation systems in order to deliver a more sustainable irrigation regime by improving the distribution efficiency and by achieving a near on-demand water supply.
This paper reports how classical ideas from system identification and control can be used to automate irrigation systems to deliver a near on-demand water supply with vastly improved overall distribution efficiency.
Other features include tigerwood flooring certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, a vegetable wax finish, a water-conserving toilet, an on-demand water heater and in the bathroom a solar tube — a type of skylight that intensifies natural light — to use in place of a regular electrical fixture.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a procedure which takes into account both the network layout and the pipe size of an on-demand water branched network in order to obtain the lowest total cost (investment and energy cost).
Not only is there an on-demand water nozzle, but some-sort of quick time contraption.
Modern boat moorings, on-demand water taxis, a new golf course and reduced building-permit fees will be coming soon to Newport Beach — if the mayor gets his way.
