              Zero Carbon House is a low energy demonstration project to show 
              how renewable energy can create a unique living experience on a 
              remote island in a severe climate. A holistic approach has been 
              taken to eliminating household carbon emissions that would normally 
              result from heating and powering the home, running the family car 
              and growing and transporting food.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zerocarbonhouse.com/"><FONT size="2" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> 
              The house is based on a standard design from a timber frame company. 
              Timber is a low embodied energy, renewable material that will be 
              sourced from Scotland to minimise transportation costs and impacts.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zerocarbonhouse.com/"><FONT size="2" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> 
              The house will be constructed to very high levels of energy efficiency. 
              Heating will be provided by an air-to-water heat pump serving an 
              underfloor heating system and providing domestic hot water via a 
              heat store.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zerocarbonhouse.com/"> 
              Power will be provided by two on-site wind turbines and can be stored 
              in a Redox Fuel Cell system to even out fluctuations in generation 
              </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F7B3BAD1-0A06-42BA-8B69-C16C5E31792E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
