. Traditional utility connection that serves demand or potentially buys excess power generation.
. The trend from utilities to reduce payments for distributed solar generation raises the possibility of using a more aggressive storage option and only relying on a grid tie for periodic shortfalls to charge storage systems at optimum rate periods.
. More public utilities will move from a simple volume consumption model to a more complicated time-of-use model that penalizes early morning and afternoon and evening energy charges. If our storage systems can eliminate the need to use grid power during those times we significantly lower the overall operating costs and should maintain or even raise the service level to customers.


Direct energy creation from sunlight. Best use is direct consumption, Next best is storage to offset demand after sun is not available or during high charge demand periods.

. Low cost capture and storage of thermal energy into either solid or liquid mass to be used to create thermal heat transfer for the use of conditioning human habitation or the creation of electrical energy by using the heat to create vapor cycles to power mechanical systems which can create electrical energy.
. The problems with thermal storage is it often uses water in a way that creates loses through evaporation or creates more contaminated water.
. Where water storage and thermal sinks can be combined to work well together, there could be some operational advantages. Some have tried solar panels that also collect excess heat to help raise the operational efficiency, but there is a cost for circulation and storage that offsets that small gain in efficiency.



The earth temperature is constant and always lower than the average ambient air temperature in the Spring and Summer and Fall months in Arizona this allows for natural cooling of heat transfer liquids to dissipate heat back to the ground. The conductivity of the earth is great enough to absorb any heating load we can put in it.
.
When coupled with radiant night sky cooling geothermal systems provide sufficient cooling for much of the year and certainly assist in providing more efficient thermal dissipation during the hottest periods, lowering energy requirements and the required equipment sizes needed to provide human comfort. For much of the year in the SW US these natural processes can provide a significant reduction in energy demand if properly used.


.Night Sky Radiant Cooling is a phenomenon that allows heat to be dissipated into the clear night sky when the temperature of the input fluid is at least 10 degrees warmer than the ambient air temperature. If evaporation is added to the system even greater heat dissipation an be created. Storing the cooled water for use during the following daytime when heating loads are greater has been shown to be able to account for over 50% of the cooling demand in Arizona and other semi-arid climates. Even in more humid climates, this system can reduce the overall energy demands for cooling by up to 9% (Miami) to 23% in Los Angles..


Matrix



Thermal storage adds a significant level of mechanical complexity to any system. This has a two-fold impact. One, is the initial installation cost and Two, is the ongoing maintenance of pipes, pumps and controls.
. So far there are few Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solutions for smaller scale projects from 10kW to 25kW in size, which is likely the sizes for our systems as supplementary power, rather than primary power systems.
. SPaaC uses a holistic design method to combine systems' strengths to get the highest possible efficiency, lowest operating values and highest resiliency.

Zero-Demand House:
. Currently, there are not established design guides for independent zero-demand water solutions. This is because all buildings have been tied to centralized water systems run and governed by public regulators. Creating a decentralized water purification solution inside a public water infrastructure presents many questions to local jurisdictions.
. While the US Clean Water Act (CWA) indicates the standards for public and private water suppliers, there is not guidance for how an isolated private system that wants to create a closed-loop treatment system can be implemented. The technology has existed with filtration, UV and chemical treatment for closed systems for over 30 years and much of that technology came from the manned space programs of the 1980's and beyond. Much of that technology is now available as certified filtration and processing products in the commercial marketplace. But local policy and laws often don't know how to deal with the idea of water treated from toilet-to-tap.
. Certainly, in the Western states where water is scarce already, these conversations are already beginning in places like Las Vegas and Tucson and Albuquerque.
. Our goal is to utilize natural supply sources from rainfall and ambient air condensation to supply the majority of water supply and only rely on municipal water systems in times of shortage.

Sensors needed?
. Smart Buildings are about more than just the smart controls, but also how a building is used and maintained. For instance, maintenance moves from a reactive to predictive model. If we are going to offer these on a "Space as a Service" model then we are maintaining the buildings and paying for the utilities and then we need to know a lot more about how and when an occupant is using the space.
. See this vid about the idea of a predictive Smart Building https://vimeo.com/228231900
, Each unit will have between 25 and 100 active sensors across all systems. Some will be sending very active streams, others only intermittently. Some only need to send alarms, others are usage counters for billing and might be accumulated over some interval The ability to look at the elements of an aggregate sum would be helpful to diagnose operational issues and tune systems for optimal performance.
. If we send all this data to a permanent data record that can be accesses over time to extract operational performance, we can match lower cost while raising performance. This will require a new data system not found in typical SCADA or energy management systems of today. We think it will be some form of distributed ledger data system.


measuring the incidence of solar power available via infrared. This may benefit from tracking systems to maximize panel performance for both PV and thermal systems.

Air management is to assist with the sensible heat and humidity levels inside the house.

Occupancy sensors can be used to control ventilation, lighting and power systems driven from occupant presence and activity. When not present, the systems are turned off.

It makes sense to have a fire sprinkler system installed. It would not add a lot of cost to install 1 head for every 10 to 12 feet of long wall. Domestic water pressure in 1/2" supply lines using PEXa piped systems should conform to the residential suppression systems. NFPA 13D is the design standard for 1 & 2 family stick or manufactured home construction. The cost should be about $1.00 / sf based on industry norms. That is no more than $1,000 for the peace of mind that fire damage will be reduced by over 60% compared to smoke detection alone.
. System design is based on room spaces. Flow design requires up to two simultaneous heads for 10 minutes of use. Supply may be from city utility or stored pressure tanks. Pressure may be from mains pressure, a static charge gas cylinder, or emergency pump system. For our designs we should need no more than 200 gallons of storage.
. Insurance premiums should be lower for sprinklers. Industry norms range from 5% to 15%. Most of these savings will come back to the operator since they experience the greatest loss and risk. Payback would take 7 to 10 years to realize a return on insurance premiums, but on actual loss, the typical loss is only 1/10 the cost of a traditional fire loss.
. These systems reduce the need for firefighter response to contain the fire. This means communities are safer and surrounding property is safer. When entire communities are protected, the larger group should enjoy higher property values than surrounding unprotected properties.


Deploys automatic fire shutters on installed doors and windows. Warnings issued when occupants are sensed from Occupancy Sensors. and interlocked with armed security to notify occupant. Temperature of exterior could trigger external landscaping sprinklers for cooling and minimal fire suppression. Internal temperature would trigger interior fire suppression (Should this be before interior fires start?)

Our environments use sensor technologies and software to assist in creating comfort and energy efficiency for occupants.

Furniture mapped in a geospatial map via range sensors or beacon technology. This may set up a possibility of automatically triggering other systems to do something like setting up a table in an area causes a light to come on. or activating a bed causes a change in temperature in that area to change.

. Managing the use of power from renewable energy and grid supplied energy. Also possible Electrical Vehicle charging management..
. Our strategy is to not be tied to the power grid to sell excess power to them, but only as a last resort power source to charge storage systems for later or immediate use. This strategy gives us the option to operate our storage systems anytime, including when the grid is down. This is not the typical configuration for most renewable energy systems, which only work when they can sell power to the public utility. If the utility is down, the renewable power generation is turned off to prevent powerlines from being energized when they may be down as a safety measure for power utility workers.
. Our system design would not present a problem to the utilities since we only open to receive power and never send power out..

Stored potential in batteries or thermal medium. See Solar Available for forecasts affecting power use policy.

Incident sunlight available. It may be possible to use weather forecasts to assist power management for battery and thermal systems, especially when power sources may be limited in the near future. Knowing power may be limited could trigger power saving policies early to extend the battery capacity and give alternative or line power sources the opportunity to charge battery systems before shortages happen and potentially high cost grid power will be needed to operate. Or if a possible emergency is imminent threatening grid power availability, leaving the occupant only an option of renewable energy sources.

Options are available to merge potable cold water systems with fire protection using PEX piping to lower reserve requirements and decrease health hazards from non-potable water used to fight fires.



Some municipalities allow or encourage the use of grey water, others prohibit it. The trend is to use it for non-potable uses outdoors where it does not present a public hazard. Systems must be designed to collect only water that does not have human waste in it.


This filtration system is the most problematic. There are no clear municipal guidelines in many cities. Some are beginning to allow this, or even requiring some treatment prior to discharging to public sewers. Some jurisdictions allow this kind of treatment and others try to prevent it. Under federal rules it should be allowed as long as the quality matches the municipal system and has a testing program to monitor the quality to be reviewed by a responsible agency.

monitoring

The use of software to compare several values at the same time could create conditions that warrant warning or notifying the occupant and then notifying a health professional, if needed or requested by the occupant. Safeguards need to be put in place to minimize false positives and still provide help when needed.

A comprehensive data management system will be needed for SPaaC delivery to bill for, operate, maintain, and repair the facilities and equipment used to provide SPace as a serviCe.

If we offer the units as SPace as a serviCe (SPaaC) then the data becomes an integral part of operations for the Operator to manage the space and provide services to the Occupant. While the Occupant decides which services and when they want them, the Operator needs to monitor the use and delivery of the services so billing and customer service is provided.

Occupants can use the data to provide a higher quality experience and lifestyle due to more convenient control and utilization of the space and amenities provided.
. Occupants may have the opportunity to save costs when they use the information to conserve energy and utilities use. If an Occupant uses less than a baseline use profile then they may be eligible for a credit against future subscription charges. Such a plan would help contain ongoing operation costs, reduce operations hours, and lengthen equipment life.




This is the most likely user of the data since the SPaaC operator is providing the space and associated amenities for a charge. Tracking the services delivered and creating an automatic bill for them will require and extensive tracking system for billing, operations, and maintenance. and repairs.
. For the Operator, knowing how the equipment and space performs means being able to control costs and learn when new services may be needed.

If the Builder is only the manufacturer and installer the relevant operational data that has Occupant information removed would be important to determine design performance and utilization of design functionality. Analysis of occupant use of the space would be helpful for future design improvements and new occupant services.


The myriad vendors who supply goods and services to SPaaC, some of which are used by SPaaC and others by the Subscriber Occupants.


The blockchain services will need to have a fairly high throughput capacity. If there are only 100 units, each unit can have 100's of possible daily data interactions. If there are 500 data transactions that require some kind of computation and request for service to only one other service delivery entity it would be 100*500*2=100,000/(24*60*60) = 1.16 tx/second which is a higher demand rate than most traditional blockchain solutions.
. Look for a blockchain solution that can do up to 50 transactions per second to give us room to handle growth for thousands of units handling many kinds of transactions on the blockchain.
..Note that our blockchain implementation must solve a number of enterprise level problems that require a lot of data to resolve. Blockchain ledgers right now are implemented for limited transaction access and require large resources to create the records and are often difficult to access without a specific access key. Our application needs the permanence of a blockchain ledger along with its timestamped veracity, but we also need quick access of related data that shows a progression of transactions over time as well as collections of transactions related to a source or destination. Not all records will be tied to a smart contract, but any of them may have one or more rule sets that work on them either in concert as a set or independently.

Create a series of modules that move on a track that supports and guides the modules to allow flexible use of the space
. And / Or
. Integrate other modular furniture that transforms shape and function to save space. The integration may be attached to the structure or to the movable track system.


Motorized movement takes two different basic forms. 1) common systems with a single drive unit shared by multiple units that have clamping units to engage the drive system 2) individual drive units for each modular unit on a simple common guide rail system.

Most efficient when designed as a common drive unit and a clamping engagement for movement of each unit. The screw can provide very tight positional location with measurement based on rotations and pitch offset.

Most efficient when designed as a common drive unit and a clamping engagement for movement of each unit.Positional information from sensors along track length and coordinated between each cabinet unit

Poly Link belt assemblies use a common drive unit and individual clamping assemblies to engage the poly belt when they need to be moved. Units will need floor brakes to keep them in place since drives will need to be disengaged when not in use so they cannot hold the units in place. Stepper motor and belt sensors assist in positional information.

Positional location from individual units that communicate with each other relative to standard markers along track length

We need to find a way to help lessen the amount of physical labor needed and increase accuracy. These will lower the overall cost by reducing both excess labor and waste. The best way to help implement this is to be able to take the design and capture it in digital format and then send it to digitally control fabrication tools. The fabrication tools need to be able to respond to many different fabrication tasks that have low volumes. For instance, cutting new floor panels, wall panels and ceiling panels that have different sizes, materials and thicknesses. Other materials for trim, casework and custom furniture that enhances livability. .
. Fabrication designs created to allow for sub-assemblies to be created either in our factory or in other remote locations will help lower labor costs during assembly. Plumbing vent and supply, electrical wiring harnesses, wall panel sub frames and finish panel assemblies; entire cabinet and furniture assemblies ready to insert and connect.

The CNC offers the possibility of automated assistance in cutting and fabricating materials with much less manual intervention. It also offers a different kind of design rationale to traditional fabrication techniques

Saws, routers, planers, sanders and drills are the primary tools to manufacture wood and plastic furniture products. Most of these are not easily automated for a wide variety of activities or designs. They automate well only when a large volume of the same design can be implemented. Our requirements are for a wide range of fabrication and a low volume of each fabrication task, so this means all work will need to be manual.

and Doors

Openings for human egress, daylighting and ventilation. Note there are links from here to energy management, and environmental control. Depending on the desired level of automation will drive how much machine interface will be needed for windows and doors. It may include opening and closing as well as controlling shades on both the inside and outside of the building.
. For best performance, all openings should have a thermal break in the wall and window edge details.
. Acoustical performance is also of concern. Tight door gaskets and perimeter window seals as well as multi-pane window panel assemblies will lower outside noise infiltration.
. Fire protection: In most cases we won't be concerned about fire protection of openings for doors or windows. Maintain building separation for openings and wall construction to meet fire separation requirements. Windows and doors have a minimum size requirement for building egress at main entrances and at sleeping areas.
..See Resilient Design section for wind and fire protection

With or without vision or ventilation panels. Doors may be for human passage or for cabinets or act as space division devices suspended on tracks or hinges.

Openings in walls and roofs that allow for daylighting and ventilation. They may have automated operations integrated as part of their design that help with ventilation, shading or energy collection or management. Refer to items for movable insulation and shading when looking at windows especially and even doors.

. The initial design specifications for ISO containers is based on surviving a hurricane at sea while remaining water tight and structurally sound. Blowing debris and tossing ship decks are much more severe environments for design than land-based scenarios where buildings are securely tied to stationary foundations.
. Storm certified containers have been found floating weeks after being dislodged from ships during storms. This watertightness under extreme conditions indicates the strength and integrity of the ISO shipping container.

. Flooding is often one of the most costly insurance sectors. Our mitigation strategies range from developing sites above anticipated flood stages, to providing full structure flotation solutions. Since our structures are compact they are easier to provide protection from flooding.

. Fire losses will be more prevalent from content loss from an internal fire. If we implement suppression systems to mitigate these losses, we will greatly reduce the community water demands for property protection.
. Rangeland wildfires and forest fires close to populated areas are likely a small part of our market, but there are effective protection systems that greatly reduce the property loss by using external sprinkler systems to lower temperature and raise humidity.


Tie roofing waterproofing membranes to perimeter systems to allow for continuous water sheading to the exterior of the wall systems. Assure perimeter edges are secure against 150 mph hurricane wind forces.

This alternate is used if a water bath absorption layer is used as part of a radiant heating and cooling system.

Walls need to meet new IRC resistance of R-38 for most of the USA. This will cover all of the southern states and up to the northern tier.
XPS continuous insulation produces about r=5 for each inch of thickness
See https://insofast.com/ for an integrated screw fastening system with XPS formed boards with fitted edges that qualify for continuous insulation. For interior applications, install horizontally, Exterior, install vertical. Additional exterior XPS may be attached for additional protection.

Perimeter
If the crawl space has a vapor barrier placed on the ground and perimeter, it should not need venting to remove moisture. Details should show a continuous Vapor Barrier at the floor structure of the structure as well as at the perimeter and ground level. Best practices indicate a powered vent that works when humidity levels get above a level that will allow evacuation of the space before water vapor will condense on any of the surfaces in the crawl space.
A simple moisture sensor tied to a fresh air exhaust that will pull dry air (interior) into the crawl space and allow the moist air to be evacuated will meet the requirement. Normally a 40cfm exhaust fan that turns on around 60% RH in the crawl space should work well. Exhaust the air to the outside well above the ground line through roof or sidewall vent, but not back into the habitable space. You want to make sure the excess moisture and any ground gasses are evacuated to the outside.

The most plausable option is to use the ceilings for radiant cooling and heating with water used as a heat transfer medium on a cool roof sheet coating. The water applied as either a flooded pond to the roof or contained in a series of plastic bags and stored in an insulated tank and then recirculated in the bags during cooling load periods to pick up radiant heat loads from the ceilings. The storage to provide additional heat sink capacity for cooling.

Hydronic Heating and Cooling
Floors as the radiators don't work well for cooling since the cool air will stagnate at eh floor.
.
Wall radiators that have some air movement and natural convection are show to work best for both heating and cooling. Finned or plate designs can work well.
.
Radiant cooling will be more problematic in high humitidy conditions on cold surfaces where RH is > 70%.
.
Flooring needs to be higher in mass when the floor is used, but higher floor mass will act as a thermal heat sink to maintain air temperature. Where the building is tight and well insulated, the changes in air temp will be smaller with more mass inside the building.
.
Since we will have a Heat Recovery Ventillation System, it should help maintain humidity control if we use humidistats that exhause air to outside from bath and kitchen areas, that should keep the RH low enough to prevent condensation.
.
Also, hygrometers could control window operation as part of the natural ventillation system. A chilled water panel that has a simple condensation collector could be an effective dehumidifier.
.
We also might be able to find a simple commercial dehumidifier that could be controlled from an external input or even it's own internal sensor set at a comfort level to dry air enough.
.
Another option is to use a high mass wall section with chilled pipes on it that would act as a dehumidifier and have a condensate collector and drain the water into the heat transfer medium as makeup water.
This wall could also act as a heater in cold weather helping to moderate the air temperature.
A good general information sheet on home heating and thermal transfer is
https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/ae/ae-89.html

All the cooling and heating options shown can use an intermediate thermal storage strategy to help lessen the peak demand requirements for energy. If we use a common storage medium to all the systems we can pick the optimum system for economy and performance.


Especially on low humidity nights the Delt T and emissive qualities of radiant surfaces allows heat to dissipate to the night sky.
.
Using water as the absorber / heat sink and using movable insulation can provide substantial cooling at very low cost in both initial and operational categories. Only power to move panels is require since cooling is from the ceiling by radiant means.
.
A high roof to floor area helps this system. Night temps over 80 degrees prevents the system fro working very well and will need additional help to provide all the cooling needed.
.
We already have a metal roof on the container. ?We need to determine the load the roof can support without any additional support and how much support an 8" water layer (47#/sf dead load) will require?
Also possible to use simple exposed radiant panels mounted on a vertical wall to get 75% of horizontal performance. Possible to combine Horizontal and Vertical panels to increase the transfer area. See Zoomworks.com Double play
.
The white TPO roofing acts as a cool roof and could be a good product for this process.

Our goal is to have a utility demand of zero for the dwelling. To accomplish this we will need storage and treatment systems for collected water as well as water used in the house.
We may need to look at collecting surface water from the ground and treating it to Clean Water standards.

There are several air extraction systems available on the market. One of them is from Scottsdale. Their two panel system creates about 5 gallons a day. That isn't enough for a traditional single-pass system, but might be enough to replenish a recycled purification system that meets EPA standards.


See www.Josh.ai for voice control integration between either Google Home and Amazon Alexa and other systems as a complex control solution. All environmental sensors, as well as positional sensors can be integrated to control equipment or other systems through signaling or power control relays.
Josh.ai requires a live internet connection just as Google Home or Amazon Alexa do.

Connected appliances that are controlled through either Amazon Alexa or Google Home voice command interfaces or smartphone app interfaces. Often these appliances have both interrogation and announcement functions built into the apps. Diagnostics and consumable reorder is also available on several brands. Reorder is most often offered through Amazon.


Only a few of the portable appliances offers digital connectivity. It appears this will change over time and likely very quickly. They do offer smaller footprints, but at lower power levels. Sometimes they are also less expensive than traditional built-in units. We may find that some of these may provide the functionality and space savings we are looking for as acceptable alternatives. Portable appliances can be replace easily and require no service personnel to deploy.
. For instance 3 Sous Vide immersion cookers and a toaster oven along with a single induction oven could be provided for under $1,000. This could offer most couples enough cooking capability to prepare just about any food they wanted. The only other appliance we would need would be a medium sized microwave. This would provide a cook a full range of cooking capability up to the ability to cook whole chickens, cakes and pies and all manner of meats, sauces, vegetables and other small food products.

Connected security services are often tied to the home automation system or home automation is and extension of the security system. Some systems allow notification to a central monitoring and public services notification for police and fire or emergency services. Others only offer remote and recorded access to systems. Some more sophisticated systems are only installed and configured and serviced by trained dealers. Some of these offer integration with sound and entertainment systems as part of their system. Others will require additional controls to manage sound and video equipment.

An RFID identification method tied to a worn RFID tag or the cell phone of the resident can trip automation sequences to happen upon arrival or departure or at a specified time when they are present or absent.
Disney uses a bracelet to help guests move through rides, purchase food and merchandise and it happens when the admission ticket is bought. A bracelet with a unique ID is worn by each guest and that profile has an authorization applied to it for rides and purchases and can help locate the guest if needed. These bracelets also give guests preferred line position in some cases.
.
For us, using RFID not only helps with home automation, but it can help in ordering additional goods and services when quantity or adjacency trips cause an automatic purchase or reorder of household needs, entertainment or even transportation. We might be able to tie the RFID tag to an account to allow rental cars, grocery purchases and other ancilliary services.
.
The intent is to make life easier for the resident subscriber. They control what they want the RFID to trigger so it can be as helpful, intrusive or quiet as they choose to make it.

Business Organization
This deployment model may work to ramp up new fabrication locations after we establish enough work for the first location and can justify creating another fabrication plant around a significant developing market geography.


This workstream is the most complicated and is for items with the lowest amount of idea development. This workstream is for new ideas that have no finished products that can be purchased for installation.

. Our minimum staff and equipment configuration still needs to be able to support a full QA/QC plan that allows for full code inspection and certification inspection by the AZ department of Housing. Our product will be classified as a Factory Built Building.(FBB) See https://housing.az.gov/manufactured-housing/factory-built-buildings
. This requirement is really nothing more than we were already anticipating. It only means we now have the information needed to move the inspection process ahead. For compliance in AZ we need to become a Manufacturer of Factory Built Buildings (FBB) (M-9A) and a Dealer for FBB's (D-10) and have designated people for the Manufacturer and Dealer including a designated Licensed Salesperson. To install our units we will need a Licensed Installer (I-10G) team as well.
. These licenses will allow us to create modular factory built structures and subassemblies that are erected on a site and sell them to the public and then install them. We will need to contract with others to prepare sites and install utilities. We could train another contractor to install units for us, but eventually we should be installing our own units to make sure our quality of installation is the highest possible. We might have the field maintenance crews also be the installation teams since they will be the most knowledgeable about how the units perform and how to set them up for best operation.
. The minimum licensing we need to secure a FBB Manufacturer's license (M-9A) and work with a licensed FBB dealer (D-10 or D-12) and installers for the units (I-10C or
I-10G). Registered General Contractors can prepare the site work and install site utilities.
. The ADOH requires a full set of factory plans, factory installation and Quality Control plans to be submitted for a Manufacturer's license and permit plans for each unit and an applied physical Label affixed to each unit produced. Local jurisdictions will require approved zoning and site plans as well that are coordinated with ADOH.
