Reducing Energy &
Water Consumption
• Waterless washing machines- Sanyo’s Aqua
uses Ozone to break down bacteria and dirt
Kitchen
Waterless dishwashers- Rockpool uses
liquefied CO2 to emulsify and remove greases
and waste food material
• Recycling of used/dirty water
• Water-efficient aerated tap/shower heads
• Energy-saving light bulbs (3W LED
Spotlighting)
• Heat and motion sensors in tandem to turn
off appliances when not in use
Bathroom
Oxygen, Water &
Thermoregulation
Below: System for maintaining
breathability of atmosphere
(extracting CO2 and providing
O2) and also for obtaining energy
from hydro-electrolysis
Above: The thermoregulation
system for keeping the building
warm.
Water pumped from the tanks on
the upper floor and heated by
electric immersion heaters, created
convection currents within rooms.

Utilities, Panic Room & Food From
Plants
Panic Room
• Small sealed room in one corner of the
building allocated solely for use in
emergencies
• Emergency supplies of food, water,
oxygen tanks and plants to stabilise
atmosphere and potentially provide food
• Independent batteries that can provide
energy (mainly to power the distress
beacon) as a back-up for when the
power from the rest of building goes
down
