Energy-Efficient Houses by Emmy Homes
Emmy Homes is proud to bring energy-efficient homes to Long Island. Our designs leverage Energy Star guidelines, qualifying for Energy Star certification to help ensure the energy efficiency of your house. This not only cuts your utility bills but also increases the resale value of the house.
In coordination with Home Energy New York, Emmy now delivers homes with green energy technology built-in. With choices including solar panels, solar heating tubes and wind turbines, Emmy Homes in Commack NY can build and deliver an energy efficient house to you.
The wind turbine systems that will be installed in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and v200 systems. These systems are designed to generate 500W and 2500W of power respectively. These wind turbines, which more resemble a weather vane as opposed to a traditional windmill, are very quiet and compact. The v100, for example, is only 3 feet tall. When mounted on a pole on top of your house, is able to harness the wind, night and day, generating electricity for you. Any excess electricity is fed back into the grid and sold back to the power company.
The solar heating tubes are a different approach to raising the temperature of water used throughout your house. A fully enclosed system, it makes use of vacuum tubes containing thin metal blades. As sunlight hits these blades, they heat water in tubes running through a seam in the blades. This water circulates back to your heating system through coils and indirectly heats the water in your water tank. The water in the solar heating tubes is not the water that you drink; rather, this water travels through coils that transport the heat energy to the water that you use to drink, bathe and clean your clothes.
Solar heating tubes, such as those in the green power systems in Commack, work year round – based on the sun. These break resistant glass tubes house the blades inside a vacuum environment. The ambient temperature has no effect on the blade. Even in the cold of winter, solar heating tubes collect sunlight and create heat that heats the water passing through the central tube, as high as’0F. Finally, solar energy panels installed on the roof of your new house can generate year-round electricity. While solar energy systems are only effective during the daytime, the quantity of power they produce can be tremendous. Surplus electricity is automatically sent back to the utility company, that will buy it back from you at the same rate that they bill you for power. If you are smart and turn off lights and appliances in your home that you are not using, your electric requirements will drop, allowing additional electricity can flow back to the utility. Go on holiday and have your house act as a small power station, creating electricity and selling it back to the power grid day in and day out!
Remember, as you look at homes with clean energy technology in Commack, keep in mind the massive value of having clean energy in your home. A house with solar electric, wind power and other solar energy on Long Island sets you apart from the rest. It is good for the environment, and reduces your bills and increases the resale value of your home.
