Box Factory Home in Jackson
The design intention with the Box Factory project was to rely only on renewable energy source and create a prefabricated single family house using age old principles of site orientation, wind direction. Other features include high ceiling & wall insulation, operable windows, ceiling fans for thermal comfort and improved air quality and a creative layout to delight the occupants and visitors.
The site and all its elements were used as the guiding medium for design and planning.
The entire electrical design is supported by an onsite solar array and recylced battery bank for solar energy storage. The entire house is run only on solar energy producing more energy than it consumes and is completely off- grid not connected to any utilities. The building was designed for energy/ water independence.
The project has a well with a storage tank of 2500 gallons and runs independently on DC Grandfos solar pump and is gravity fed. We managed the prefabricated design for architectural beauty.
This house is an example of electrification. Most builders declare their projects off-grid while utilizing propane (a fossil fuel) for heating and cooking purposes and using minimal solar array of 4 kw.
