heating
Learn how you can seriously
reduce your water-heating costs.
Depending on where you live,
if you spend $1000 heating hot
water with electricity, gas hot
water can cost you about $800,
a heat pump to heat the same
amount of hot water will cost
about $350, and a heat pump
powered by Solar Photo Voltaic
power will cost even less. A
heat pump can typically heat a
cylinder about twice as fast as
electricity.

7. Wall structure
A good old ‘two by’ wall can be okay, but other ways might make
sense too. Concrete poured into expanded polystyrene forms
gives you a solid thermal wall with a beneficial slow to change
heat profile. Structurally Insulated Panels are usually foam sheets
sandwiched by plywood, or oriented strand boards. Together these
form very airtight, well insulated, and very strong panels for walls
and roofs. These are all very standard now. But, also research others
like straw bale, European clay blocks, and other block systems.
