Generate Your Own Electricity From the Sun
Ever wondered how you can generate your own electricity? Currently installed on the GlassHouse is a Photovoltaic Solar Planel system consisting of 18 235W Sharp panels for 4230 watts total installed. Can easily be upgraded to 5640 watts with no additional inside wiring or equipment. System designed to be upgraded to over 10,000 watts with no structural changes. Enough to fully power the home under normal usage. Solar system is connected to the internet for remote and local power production. System is grid tied to help turn the electric meter backwards or slower during the daytime and designed for decades of maintenance free electricity.
GLASS HOUSE 90′ ECO-FRIENDLY DOCK
The Glass House features a 90 foot dock that extends over the seawall cap to create an expansive water side lounge area and boat dockage for upto an 80 foot yacht. Zahn Development chose Ecolife™ wood for deck material. Ecolife™ is protected with a revolutionary, non-metallic preservative plus wood stabilizer system, offering the natural beauty of real wood combined with advancement in weathering protection, fastener performance, and environmental attributes. Ecolife™ Stabilized Weather-Resistant Wood, is the first decking product to receive NAHB Research Center National Green Building Certification as a “Green Approved Product”.
Glass House dock, almost complete
However before this beautiful dock could be bulit the old dock already on the lot had to be removed. In an to effort to divert waste from the landfill and even to reduce energy consumption of recycling, we collaborated with collegue Carlos del Amor, a NAR Green Designated Realtor from Coral Gables, Fl. In the following video Carlos explains how he coordinated the reclaiming of the old material to build a deck at another single family home in Miami.
