Benker Residence
General Energy Use, Strategies and Systems
Energy Use:
This home is 100% electric and uses no fossil fuels. A dual axis pole mounted solar PV array maximizes the energy generation by following the sunlight. An electric car charging station is installed too.

Benker Residence
Renewables and Energy Balance
Renewable Energy Sources: Renewable energy is generated within the building footprint (e.g. solar PV on the roof), Renewable energy is generated on-site but not on the building (e.g. wind turbine in the parking lot)
Renewable Energy System Description & Details
REM/Rate modeling shows the residential electric consumption will be more than provided for by the PV array. A geothermal system provides heating, cooling and much of the hot water heating.
