• Americans are the only people who usefresh drinking water to flush away waste.
• Instead of using 2.4 gallons of drinking
water, these toilets use only 1.3 gallons.
• The urinals are exactly as the nameimplies, there is no water.

• Any weakness in a buildings’ insulation
will allow for heat to escape. Windowsallow for this to happen even easier than
walls do.• Triple Pane windows will greatly reduce
heat loss in the winter and will keep heatoutside better in the summer.
• An R value is used to measure thestrength of the walls’ or windows’ thermal
resistance. The higher the R value thebetter the buildings’ energy efficiency will
be.
• The thermal envelope of Bosarge Centeris over 16” thick with the R value of 40.
The R value of the roof is 60.

• CFL: Compact Fluorescent Lights useless than 75% energy, will last 10 timeslonger, and are safer to use as they
produce less heat. They also cut homecooling costs.
• With sun shining into the house the lightswill dim or shut off on their own.
• At night time they will come on whensomeone enters a room and will shut offautomatically when that person leaves.

Cycling
This term is used to describe any systemthat acts as a net to capture and holdrainfall.
Collecting rainwater directly as opposedto indirectly saves energy in filtering andtransportation.
That’s why theBosarge EducationCenter has decidedto use collected rainwater to flush theirtoilets.
Rain Water Catchment Systems

Regular heating systems push usedwarm air out and draw in cool fresh airthat has to be warmed.
This system transfers the heat fromalready used and stale air to the freshincoming air.
Less energy is used because the heater
doesn’t have to warm the air again.

The materials used to build the BosargeCenter are all recycled as were thematerials that were left over from
construction.Placed around the Bosarge Center foryour convenience are recycling bins todispose of accumulated waste.

SWH: Solar Water Heating system
This system is designed to deliver themaximum amount of water year round.
In order to heat water a collection tank isattached to the roof or a wall that gets alot of sunlight.
No pumping is required as the heated
water rises naturally to the top of thetank. When using a pumped system, thetank is located at ground level and theheated water is pumped from the tank tothe building.

• Solar energy is collected inPhotovoltaic or PV panels on abuildings’ roof.
• The collected energy is turnedinto useable electricity.
• Left over energy is sent to anelectrical company where it isstored until needed.
• Solar electricity is measured tocompare how much energy weuse to how much energy weare making. This is called Net
Metering.• The Bosarge Center is a Net
Zero building because it usesonly the amount of energy itproduces.

• No PV panels are needed for this design.Instead the natural positions of the sunare used to our full advantage.
• In winter, the angle of the sun allowssunlight into the building because ithangs low in the sky.
• Because of the overhang seen in the
diagram below, this design keeps it coolin summer and warm in the winter.

• Most of a building’s heat is lost through
poorly insulated walls architects havebegun building into hillsides. This is
called berming.• Berming also protects one side of the
building from the elements.

• Most of the windows in the BosargeCenter are placed on the south side ofthe building.
• This is so the maximum amount ofsunlight and heat can be gained.
• The concrete floor in the Bosarge Centersoaks up the sun also.

come through in the winter.

Oh CFLs,
That wink and shine,
They light up your home,
And bring lots of cheer,
Only to remind you
year after year,
That they might live

Do you like space?
Lets pretend for a moment that
aliens are invading, yea, aliens,and that they are trying to get us….
But they can’t.
Simply because the Bosarge
Center installed this lovely
entryway that acts as an insulating
air lock and doesn’t let anything
in… or out.

Gentlemen,
As you may or may not have
already noticed, these urinals are
waterless.
Yes, no water involved.
Waterless urinals save around
45,000 gallons of water per year.
