2. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

   An advertisement for a Solar Water Heater dating to 1902 Frank Shuman's sunengine on the March 1916 cover of Hugo Gernsback's The Electrical Experimenter. Records of solar collectors in the United States date to before 1900, [5] involving a black-painted tank mounted on a roof. In 1896 Clarence Kemp of Baltimore enclosed a tank in a wooden box ...

3. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

4. Autonomous building - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_building

   The least expensive bulk cistern is a fenced pond or pool at ground level. Reducing autonomy reduces the size and expense of cisterns. Many autonomous homes can reduce water use below 10 US gallons (38 L) per person per day, so that in a drought a month of water can be delivered inexpensively via truck. Self-delivery is often possible by ...

5. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

   The chimney had a height of 195 metres (640 ft) and a diameter of 10 metres (33 ft) with a collection area (greenhouse) of 4.6 hectares (11 acres) and a diameter of 244 metres (801 ft), obtaining a maximum power output of about 50 kW. Various materials were used for testing, such as single or double glazing or plastic (which turned out not to ...

6. Water conservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_conservation

   Swimming pool covers that reduce evaporation and can warm pool water to reduce water, energy and chemical costs. Automatic faucet is a water conservation faucet that eliminates water waste at the faucet. It automates the use of faucets without the use of hands. Smart water meters are also a promising technology for reducing household water usage.

7. Storage tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_tank

   One form of seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) is the use of large surface water tanks that are insulated and then covered with earth berms to enable storage of seasonal solar-thermal heat that is collected primarily in the summer for all-year heating. [6] A related technology has become widespread in Danish district heating systems.
