What is the box that allows sun to heat water which can also ultimately provide heat and hot water to a building?
Any container that holds water may be used for 'solar hot water.' It should be black, as this color best absorbs heat; but it may be a 'stock tank,' which comes in black, or an old barrel, or even black pvc pipe. Your extant water pressure is sufficient; and the hot water produced may be piped directly in to your hot water heater, which then acts as a 'back-up.'
Another 'box' would be a compost pile, which can provide free hot water showers every 5 minutes, or a large enough one can heat your house all winter! The advantage of these is that the heat is not dependent upon the sun.
There are too many links to suggest any single one, as conditions vary, and different systems take advantage of differing conditions. As a rule, these systems may be constructed of repurposed parts, so don't let a lack of shiny plastic slow you down!
What else can I help you with?
When the overall lot drainage is toward the house what can be used to direct the water away from home is it swales sweles swails swells?
The area of land around buildings should be formed so that any surface water in the immediate surroundings (extending at an absolute minimum of 0.5m (20") beyond the building) is directed away from the building. This can be done by sloping the land at at least 1 in 50/2%/1.15 degrees or more, or by having drainage channels around the perimeter. (Check local authority regulations.) The water diverted away from the immediate surrounds of the building by slopes or drains then needs to be able to flow away further so that it does not back up to the building. Swales, drains and slopes can all achieve this. A swale is a wide concave vegetated channel that allows slow surface flow of water and also allows the water to soak gradually into the soil, reducing the chance of a large peak flow of water, and recharging the water table. The vegetation must be maintained to ensure water can flow through the swale, and the swale will need to carry any water beyond the capacity it can immediately absorb to a stormwater system or waterway.
Can solar water heaters provide hot water at morning?
yes
What is the advantages of a single-lap tile?
Single-lap tiles offer several advantages, including ease of installation, as they require fewer materials and less labor compared to double-lap systems. Their design allows for effective water runoff, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage. Additionally, single-lap tiles can provide a more streamlined aesthetic, making them suitable for various architectural styles. Finally, their lightweight nature can reduce structural load on roofs, making them ideal for a range of building types.
How do you decommission a cold water pipe?
Turn off at curb stop to decommission whole house or building. Inside of house or building, turn off valve at main water supply at meter and cut and cap cold water line to be decommissioned.
Why do you treat water within a closed circuit cooling system of a building?
To deoxygenate the water, thus preventing corrosion
What is sustainable architecture?
Sustainable Architecture is when a design is less damaging to the area in which it is being placed. For instance using a type of asphalt that allows water to pass through it. Or else using systems within the building to eliminate the amount of energy need or water used such as low flow toilets or water catch systems. This allows building to be more environmentally friendly and green.
What are the benefits of implementing a manifold water system in a residential or commercial building?
Implementing a manifold water system in a building can provide benefits such as improved water pressure, more efficient water distribution, easier maintenance, and reduced risk of leaks.
What are vertical and horizontal DPC?
DPC is damp proof course to prevent water getting into the interior of the building. Vertical allows the water to pass up or down while horizontal allows it to pass left or right.
Does the Burj Khalifa have plumbing installed throughout the building?
Yes, the Burj Khalifa has plumbing installed throughout the building to provide water and sanitation services to its occupants.
How does a combination boiler work?
A combination boiler does two tasks, the first is to provide radiant heating to a building and the second is to provide hot water. The boiler can provide hot water to only one system at a time, but eliminates the need to have two boilers.
Can you explain how water in window panes affects the energy efficiency of a building?
Water in window panes can reduce the energy efficiency of a building by decreasing the insulating properties of the window. When water gets trapped between the panes, it can conduct heat, making it harder for the window to maintain a consistent temperature inside the building. This can lead to increased energy usage for heating or cooling, ultimately reducing the overall energy efficiency of the building.
Why are water storage facilities are often built on high grounds?
This is because by building them on the high grounds, the water in it will have greater potential energy which allows the water to be transported with high pressure to longer distances.
What is the capacity of a eighty feet building water gravity tank?
That depends on width and breadth, which you did not provide. Please restate the question.
What country is building a series of dams and man-made lakes on the upper Euphrates R to provide water and electricity to its people?
Turkey
What is the importance of water in building a strong foundation for a structure?
Water is crucial in building a strong foundation for a structure because it helps to compact the soil, provide stability, and prevent shifting or settling of the foundation. Without proper water management, the foundation may become weak and prone to damage.
How did the building of the Suez canal change water transport?
It allows water transportation between Europe and Asia without circumnavigation of Africa or carrying goods overland between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.
What is the purpose of a footing drain pipe and how does it help in managing water around a building's foundation?
A footing drain pipe is used to collect and redirect water away from a building's foundation. It helps prevent water from pooling around the foundation, which can cause damage and leaks. The pipe allows water to drain properly, reducing the risk of foundation problems.
