The Byrom House
This is a 14.4 kW DC solar grid connected house which can operate independent of the grid using a large LiFePO4 Energy Storage System battery. The building has a geothermal ground source heat pump HVAC system which also provides hot water. A rainwater collection system provides irrigation water for the landscaping, which makes use of native and drought resistant plants. The building envelope includes ventilated roof and wall systems, structural foam insulated sheathing panels, a standing seam metal cool roof, and a post-tensioned slab installed on chemically treated soil due to the local soil properties. This is an urban site one block south of Hwy 183 on MacArthur Blvd., Please observe parking signs – do not park directly in front of the house.
