What are some major components to an energy efficient house?
We are doing a science project where we have to build a model of an energy efficient house. What are some parts of an energy efficient house that we should include? For example, solar panels on roof and windows on south wall. Please include things that we can build and put inside/outside the house.
Some of the things I took into consideration in designing my mountain home were weather conditions and access to sunshine, as the property has lots of trees. The exterior walls are 6" thick instead of the usual 4". There are lots of south-facing windows, of course. Extra insulation in the attic helps conserve energy. On the inside, window quilts help and a wood burning stove compliments the radiant floor heating system while providing fire mitigation by utilizing fallen trees.
