  period of less than eight years.
• Climate Control
• The house must heat and cool itself
  efficiently.

  source of internal climate control.
• The house must use passive heating to reduce
  heating and cooling costs.
• Electrical Demand
• The house must support the power consumption
  of an average family (Two adults and two

CONCLUSION

• In response to the assigned project, Helios
  Engineering Group
• provides an answer which can be described as
  nothing less than epic.
• To house a family of four (two adults and two
  children), a 2500 sq. foot
• house is employed as a base for the solar
  augmented project. The
• house boasts a roof mounted solar water heater, a
  premium solar
• panel kit, and a heat pump. While this may seem
  quite expensive at
• first glance, the equipment assures an 8 year
  payback period
• profound to say the least. This dream is made
  possible by the
• generous state of California and their tax return
  program which
• provides 20,897.42 over a period of eight years.
  The house maintains
• a comfortable temperature between 65 and 72
  degrees Fahrenheit no
• matter how extreme the temperature is outside.
  The Helios
• Engineering group is proud to present the
  Sacramento area with this
• economical masterpiece.
