Honda Smart Home
Honda has opened a demonstration Smart Home in Davis, California (just outside of Sacramento), fully equipped with the latest technology and a Honda Fit in the garage. This Honda Smart Home demonstrates how we might live a zero-carbon life. The home is located on the campus of the University of California at Davis, which will be used for three years by visiting faculty and staff, with each tenant staying for a year.
In places like Australia and California, water can be scarce and sun power is plentiful, so low-impact homes are at a high interest. The Honda Smart Home is about 2,000 square feet, and is designed to be energy positive. It contributes electricity to the grid and has a battery storage system that captures excess energy and provides an energy source in case of blackouts. It is complete with LED lighting, radiant heating and cooling, a solar panel system, as well as a grey-water filtering and recovery system.
You will find a zero-emission Honda Fit EV electric car in the garage, which is equipped with a standard 240-Volt Level 2 charging station and a DC charging outlet. The solar panels on the house can directly charge the Fit EV via the DC cable. Not only is Honda pushing the envelope in zero-emission automobiles, they are at the forefront of zero-emission technology in homes.
