Gray water recovery
Thermal batteries (hot and cold)
- Excess solar energy can be use to "charge" the hot or cold reservoirs for later use depending on season.
Effluent heat recovery
- Home appliances generate lots of heat (clothes driers, ovens, refrigerators, ...) that is currently vented to the atmosphere. Capture and use it to "charge" the hot battery.
- I'd imagine a water (or other liquid) line that connects to each appliance's exhaust via a heat exchanger to make the above more efficient as a standard part of home plumbing.
Smart appliances that sync with the home's energy system
- eg: clothes dryer that has the option to turn only when there is excess electricity available. Same with EV charging, etc...
