A key issue in residential cogeneration is how to size and integrate the required technologies in order to satisfy the total energy needs of the household, consisting of electricity, domestic hot water, space heating and space cooling. An interesting pathway to a more sustainable future involves the use of the earth surrounding the home as both a source and a sink for energy, especially if it enables the recycling of summertime waste heat from the generator.

We conducted studies in geometrically-identical, side-by-side full-scale detached houses. One house was operated in a conventional manner and provided a typical reference case. In the other house we applied a variety of measures designed to reduce or shift load from peak periods. Our results demonstrated that a combination of practical operational modifications (air-conditioner cycling, doing laundry later in the evening) and commercially-available technology (exterior shading, modest PV array, energy-efficient lighting) was able to dramatically reduce (in some cases to zero) the peak electrical demand from the grid on the hottest days of the year.
