In looking at the energy demands for block of land there are two main factors that need to be considered.
By answering those two questions you will have both your water collection and water consumption and will be able to determine to what extent the property is able to support the water needs of the family.
- What quantity of water can the property collect?
In answering this question you need to look at the size of the roof for the collection of rainwater, or the use of water from other source. - How much power do you expect to be using?
In answering this question you will use the spreadsheet to look at different items and how much water they use. By providing an estimate for how much they will be used you will be able to determine the amount of water used per year.
By answering those two questions you will have both your water collection and water consumption and will be able to determine to what extent the property is able to support the water needs of the family.
In looking at the amount of rain water collect you will need to design some rainwater tanks to collect all of that water. As a general rule of thumb, you will want enough storage capacity to store an entire year of water. In order to design the tanks you will need to search online for standard tank sizes, their dimensions and their storage capacity.
As with all the other block components the rainwater tanks will need to be in the scale of 1:125 and can be produced using the laser cutter or 3D printer |
