First House II is a self regulating, solar powered, air cycle machine. Thermo radiation and photovoltaic conversion interact proportionally to moderate [climatic] extremes. It incorporates the natural cycles for water, waste, garbage, household dirt and for air purification. The interior cantilever post and beam skeleton, with innovative joinery, is sheathed in rigid non-biodegradable skin to form a permanent, low maintenance structure. The interior and exterior geometry for radiant energy absorption also utilizes skin openings, temperature and pressure differentials to control air quality and flow. [Openings for doors], windows and holes are precision cut from the skin and [then] reinstalled to prevent unintentional convection, conduction or radiant energy loss. Pre-manufactured interchangeable parts permit phased construction or expansion with no onsite waste or refuse. Structural materials are multifunctional and provide capabilities for energy independence with no need for municipal services over its unlimited service life.
