The EnviroHome addresses several sustainability and lifestyle challenges, to
1. Reduce the carbon footprint by eliminating commuting (the house has a dedicated work area, completely separated from the residential area, with enough flexibility to accommodate activities from office work to light manufacturing).
2. Encourage healthy eating habits by providing fresh fruit and vegetables year round and locating the main food preparation and serving area close to the planters.
3. Reduce heat loss through a double wall/storage system, and use of photovoltaic and passive solar systems for electricity and hot water.
4. Reduce storm water run-off. All the water gathered from the roof is stored in retention basins and used to water the planters.
5. Entice children to learn and explore by making the multimedia library a magical landscaped play area with fruit trees, level changes and little storage cubbies for books, games and toys. With wireless technology this area becomes well suited for distance learning.
6. Make full use of daylight. Maturing tree canopies create shade and reduce glare.
