Another option is to turn the water off in between steps if you don’t already. So turn it off when you lather up, wash your hair, etc and only use water to rinse off after each step. It helps reduce how much you use by only having the water on for a short time overall. With a lot of showerhead attachments you can turn the water off right there so you don’t have to fiddle with the temperature controls every time.
Yes, I didn’t think of that aspect. I guess my coconut wall would be deadly.
I wonder if the vertical walls could be used to grow food for people, there is a lot of possible growing space on a building. An office could rent out their wall space to people or other businesses to grow what they could.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. It would be great to see some numbers for this.
This is a really interesting idea, however, it would be good to see how efficient it is. I would think going from light>mirrors>liquid>oven>bread is less efficient than going from light>solar panel>oven>bread.
Either way, this is a creative design, and could be used for other applications. Could a house be heated in the same way?
I personally wouldn’t use greywater for plants since it’s a mixture or oils, skin, hair, and soap/shampoo. Not without treating and filtering it beforehand. Greywater always smells far more foul than blackwater in my experience.
