Disruption at houses
The market for homes is in as horrifying a state as the electric car market was in 2003: in the year Tesla was founded, the Peugeot 106 was a top electric car.
That a 150,000 € sedan could beat the most powerful and expensive super sports cars powered by combustion engines in a 1/4 mile sprint was as unimaginable as the possibilities of a GEMINI next Generation house are today.
00:00 | Start
| 00:14 | Tesla was founded July 2003
| 00:34 | The Peugeot 106 was one of the best electric cars in 2003
| 01:40 | With reportage in 2005 ranked 1st on Google for years for “electric car”
| 02:45 | What is a good house?
| 02:51 | If everyone did this, maximum positive effect on our future
| 03:36 | Evaluate building materials by electricity and CO2 during production
| 05:34 | Balance including electric car charging and 6:1 for electricity export to import
| 07:30 | Replication factor varies by location
| 09:02 | What does replication factor 3 mean?
| 09:38 | Replication factor is to make nonsense “building shame” absurd.
| 10:58 | Even in the same location, the climate can change drastically.
| 13:07 | Flood danger! Stop soil sealing! Stop concreting everything over!
| 13:25 | But what if a house can absorb more rainwater than a lawn?
| 13:53 | All agricultural land is needed for food production!
| 15:09 | But what if more food is produced on a 500 m² plot with a house?
| 15:29 | Building bans due to flood risk.
| 16:03 | But what if there are floatable homes?
| 16:29 | Forest fire hazard, no fire insurance available.
| 17:10 | But what if homes can defend against wildfires?
| 17:50 | Millionaire mentality and billionaire mentality
| 19:59 | Planetary renovation back to 350 ppm CO2, we are contributing house by house
| 20:28 | End

The heat pumps have arrived
|
|
|
|
On December 16, 2020 paid, on January 27 the ship arrived in the Slovenian port of Koper. On February 19, the 3 heat pumps could be picked up at a forwarding agency near Salzburg.
|
Rethinking cities
|
|
|
|
The Green parliamentary group in the German Bundestag is hosting the online conference “Rethinking Cities” on March 19, 2021. We are participating in the virtual exhibition.
|
The LiFePo4 batteries have arrived
|
|
|
|
Ordered in mid-December, arrived on March 19. Low costs for electricity storage are a decisive factor for a real energy transition.
|
Rethinking the energy transition: The price lie
|
|
|
|
The demand for “more money for climate protection” is based on the price lie. But we need more motivation, credit and opportunity for a real effective energy transition.
|
Summer / winter balancing of solar power — seasonal storage
|
|
|
|
Different approaches to summer/winter balancing compared. Seven different locations, from Oslo to Cairo, are examined for seasonal balancing.
|
Energy change — Food change — Social change
|
|
|
|
Everyone is only talking about the energy transition for climate protection, but we also need a change in food production and in the social sphere. A solution for all 3 changes.
|
Ventilation system with heat and moisture recovery
|
|
|
|
On May 13, the last of the ordered units is ready for pickup at a forwarding company. The trip was nearly for nothing, because the device only barely fit through the tailgate.
|
DIY test of thermal insulation of an alternative building material
|
|
|
|
Construction wood prices are rising dramatically spring 2021 and there are supply problems. But wood prices for other applications, such as this material, are falling slightly.
|
Would Germany be possible with 100% solar electricity?
|
|
|
|
The expansion of wind energy is faltering. Is wind energy really indispensable for the energy transition or would it even work with exclusively 100% solar power?
|
Ventilation systems with heat and moisture recovery
|
|
|
|
Extremely economical and quiet, yet large power reserves to have the best indoor air quality even at a large party. Is of course part of the basic equipment.
|
More efficiency in heating, cooling and hot water by 3 new patents
|
|
|
|
How can you achieve a higher COP with an air-source heat pump than with a ground-source heat pump, and how can you drastically reduce the amount of electricity needed to heat water?
|
A visual misunderstanding,
|
|
|
|
or how a house shrank to 2/3 of its size. Because of this visual misunderstanding, the video “Disruption in Houses” was published again with improved graphics.
