abunafiu: Thanks for your input, well appreciated. If l get you correctly, you are referring to "home automation equipments"? As long as two things are "constant", Electricity and Data/Internet (though savvy people also use bluetooth in place of internet), your home automation is good to go, just chose the right accesories.

Can somebody help to suggest the composition and equipments from solar energy that will allow me to have a minimum of 18hrs of electric power in the house enough to power at least two 1.5HP split unit, two fan, 2 televisions, standard fridge/freezer and couple of security lights/bulbs all at a time and bearing in mind the system will be 100% independent of any connections to external power generation systems PHNC or likes. Any help will be appreciated. 2 Likes 1 Share |

DUNKA: DUNKA, Thanks for your response. If l may ask: Is that battery set-up "inside' the house? Are those flooded Batteries? What is that B.I.G Black thing on the wall next to the window? I have this challenge in relation to placement of the Panels. I do not like them to obscure the beauty of my roofing (I placed a lot of emphasis on the use of Step-Tiles ) but the position of the Sun within the valuable charging hours is such that they have to be placed in such location for optimum charging. I see yours too. Is there "a way-round that bend", for those of us who will be going the Solar route on a build? Thanks. Lastpage! |

Mayor78: The 5-10% margin may it be correct sir... This because, between DPC to lintel level you have opening like doors, Windows and arch as a result you may have a great reduction in area within that level but after the lintel you don't have any openings. Block work from lintel to roof level so always higher than equal area block work between dpc and lintel level because if openings 1 Like |

Mayor78: Efficiency is a paramount consideration in energy generation and utilisation. We often worry more about generating energy than we do about efficiently utilising it, It shouldn’t end with worrying about generating the energy, efficient use is also very important, infact just as important. If I generate 1000w and utilise it at an efficiency of 60% while Mr B generates 700W but utilizes this at an efficiency of 85%; even though the later has a capacity that is 30% smaller, we will realize about the same amount of productivity or use. When you finally decide on a setup put the following in mind: Have an energy efficient consumption habit. Install energy efficient lighting systems, LED lamps- 35% more efficient than CFLS(spiral energy saving bulbs) and 85% more efficient than Incandescent lamps. I’m sure Mr Dunka can tesify to the benefit LED utilization, I can attest to his penchant for efficient lighting Buy energy efficient appliances Air Conditioning systems for instance account for one of the largest energy consumption in domestic setups. So even the slightest amount of efficiency improvement with them will result in reasonable energy conservation. When you buy Appliances generally, check for an Energy Star Label. For ACs lookout for models with High Energy Efficiency Rating (EER). The EER indicates the relative amount of energy required to produce a specific cooling output, check the energy star site and research ratings on brands and models. The link below shows the Energy Star 2016 list of the most energy efficient Central AC systems (brands and Models), with information on EER, Annual Energy Use, estimated Lifetime Operation Cost etc. https://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=most_efficient.me_cac_ashp 1 Like |

DUNKA: Thanks for your response. Let me ask: How do you cope with gas effusions from the batteries.... being in a confined space and being flooded batteries which have a higher tendency to give-off gas? Would an exhaust fan in that room be of any use? That Outback is a Munster! Lastpage! |

Haji I dont know the current going rate, but at the beginning of the year N2,400 - N2,600 was the rate and I think N1,400 for cornice or the other one if you dont want full pop, you know what dollar is saying now for market, so I dont know. I do however hear from my Pop guy that its N3,500 last, he doesn't do client supplying materials as he claims that he doesn't want to be disturbing about 1 material or the other before he does his job. I will advise you also, be extremely careful when supplying your own material. If some of these guys see that they are not making enough profit they might want to cart away with your materials (Bosun don teach them ) or even at worse waste it deliberately. I was warned when I was about to do my pop, hence why I had to go find a God fearing person even though such are rare these days. mufutau55:

Engineer Agba !! I hail o I have some curious questions # what is the diameter of the bores for this fence and what is the depth below natural ground level. # I can see this area is water logged, is it Lekki and if so which area there ? # If you continue to drill the bore, will you not hit water table and if so what will you do if that happens ? # If you were to hit water table, will cement mix just not be dissolving inside it ? # Is there any concept of sheet piling in Nigeria ? # Lets say you have your bores 3M apart, to save cost can a short beam be done and then you chain it and then blocks set ? # If the above cannot be done for technical reasons, does it now mean that we are back to concrete beams in between bore piles, sets say 4 board ? # Is it beneficial to have an inverted T beam between bore piles if using piling ? I know its a lot of questions, but please remember you have a lot of students oo Engineer Agba. segcymoor: 1 Like 1 Share |

mavverick:I dont think i would bother myself supplying material. I'd prefer to let them do that. I would just pay for their quote. If i am not satisfied with it, i'd try other quotes before settling for quality and affordable one. As you rightly said, that's going to happen. They even tell you the material you bought is not original just to get their way |
