N2 - This presentation discusses the features and economic feasibility of a design for a detached, single-family home that is consistent with a decentralized approach to achieving net-zero water and energy outcomes and meets the criteria for affordable housing in Florida. The design integrates well-established passive approaches to water and energy conservation with new technologies in electric composting toilets and PV arrays, charge controllers, and inverters, in hybrid, grid-connected, net-zero energy systems. It is found that, even without considering potential cost reductions available through governmental programs designed to support the implementation of sustainability measures in homes, the proposed design for a net-zero water and energy single-family home would meet the affordable housing criteria in Florida's Palm Beach County for both moderate- and low-income households.
