Key Findings from the Interview
Drives EV to commute to work when living in Half Moon Bay, and walks/occasionally drives when living in EVGR
Living in EVGR is more sustainable than living in single family house in Half Moon Bay — no driving on daily basis required, living in walking distance to classes and office
Has solar panel installed on roof to provide electricity for all areas in the house - converted to micro convertors, then DC power to charge EV and AC
Due to the retro nature of the house, though it can power the home, heating system is still gas
Recycle system for family house
To become more sustainable, the single family home could be higher in density — has enough resources for two families to live in it, but he lives in the house alone
Thinks heat pump system should be used for gas and heat system; natural gas is more plentiful and cheaper when the house is built compared to now; wants better ventilation(less of natural gas)
