The Hamptons Green Alliance announces its next project will have a goal to be Fossil Fuel Free. The project is totally experimental, a proof of concept, implementing unique means and methods of construction and incorporating emerging technologies demonstrating their effectiveness. The electric grid is currently fossil fuel, we will unplug from the grid.
The term “Systems Integrated Home” (SIH) was developed by the HGA based on the intensified, complex interdependence of various building systems required to meet set goals.
Built Systems are significant participants in the Nexus of Energy – Water – Food. All buildings worldwide combined use 40% of global energy, 25% of global water, 40% of global resources and are responsible for one third of global energy related greenhouse gas emissions.
