Yeah, this is amazing sustainable design.

Cross section of a sustainable house.
Various pathways show flow of rainwater, stale and fresh air, domestic hot water.
A list on the right shows the function of each element.

MAX FORDHAM HOUSE

Rainwater drainage;

R1 Rainwater is attenuated in green roof and in planters

R2: Rainwater is absorbed into porous material on blue roof R3: Rainwater is drained to lower roof and patio at a controlled rate

R4: Rainwater is absorbed into porous attenuation volume beneath

patio before being drained away slowly.

Water supply

$1 1st stage air source heatpump is located within the sun on a south facing terrace. Heatpump operates for an hour each afternoon, when the air is warmest

$2: Hot refrigerant gas is pumped to 2nd stage heatpump 53: Second stage heatpump within building heats one day's supply

of domestic hot water 54: Domestic hot water is distributed radially to showers

HVAC

U1: Cold, fresh air brought into building from beneath car undercroft U2: Heat is recovered from stale, moist exhaust air at MVHR unit

U3: Fresh, tempered air is supplied silently to inhabited rooms at high speed through 3D printed jet nozzles

U4: Warm moist air is extracted from kitchens and bathrooms US: Cold moist stale air is exhausted at high speed U6: Recirculating cooker hood extracts smells but not heat from cooking

Envelope:

PI: A well-insulated envelope completely wraps the building's

structure, with airtightness and moisture windnightness layers incorporated

P2: Insulated, actuated window shutters close at night, reducing heat loss through windows

P3: Windows can open fully to ventilate heat away in warm weather

P4: Thermally massive building structure allows better use of Incidental heat gain in the winter and absorbs excess daytime heat
during warm weather Windows orientated and positioned to optimise daylight

Renewable energy

VI Upper roof is fully utilised for photovoltaic electricity generation. PVs generate almost all of house's energy
