Bangkok, Thailand, June 30, 2020- Although COVID-19 was a sobering disruption to our everyday lives, it was an excellent chance to become part of the solution and protect ourselves, loved ones and communities. Going into the “new normal”, we’ll spend a lot more time at home for work and life. So why not turn this crisis into an opportunity to choose innovative solutions that make your home a healthier and happier hub?
In our earlier articles we explained why we need indoor air quality solutions to protect ourselves from Bangkok’s deadly PM2.5-laden smog and how proper ventilation can save your health and money while making your home more comfortable for your family. We also covered the options for home electric vehicle (EV) charging in Thailand. Today we’ll look at how we can combine the latest innovative solutions to future-proof our homes and enjoy:
1. Safety, peace and freedom with renewable solar energy + energy storage
2. Convenience and comfort with smart home control and EV charging
3. Healthy, green living with indoor air solutions and DC fans
Safety, peace and freedom with renewable solar energy and storage
As a homeowner, power outages can be a nightmare scenario with the potential to shut down critical healthcare systems or valuable work from home data and connectivity. Crying children and agitated family members will demand an immediate return of lighting, air conditioning or their favorite TV show. That’s why securing your home power is a top priority.
Fortunately, Thailand’s almost year-round sunny skies make it a perfect place to harvest clean and free renewable energy for your home. For example, Delta’s all-in-one residential Hybrid E5 energy storage system collects direct current (DC) electricity generated by rooftop solar cells and converts it into alternating current (AC) with a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) inverter to power your appliances and air conditioning. You can store any unused DC electricity in your home battery to use during high demand periods, cloudy weather or night time.
In the new normal, renewable solar energy can not only save on your electric bill, it can give you peace of mind and freedom. As long as the sun shines, your home will have electricity with a hybrid renewable energy system that even runs without the electric grid. And with full energy independence, you can even pass the next pandemic lockdown at an off-grid tropical island or mountain getaway with your own standalone power system.
Comfort and convenience with smart home control and EV charging
But spending lengthy periods alone of time on lockdown can take a toll on our mental health and wellness. We crave daily interactions using smart connected devices fast and getting out for a relaxing walk, bicycle ride or drive. As the internet of things (IoT), 5G and e-mobility become a part of everyday home life, we can look forward to smarter and greener ways to keep in touch with each other, stay fit, entertained and visit our loved ones.
You can feel safer at home with Delta’s intelligent surveillance system that uses smart cameras to give you advanced warnings and detection. Inside your home, you can conveniently time and adjust your smart ventilation fans, LED lighting and appliances with your smartphone. This control is possible with Delta’s O3 Sensor Hub 2.0 room controller, which uses multiple sensors to gather information on environment factors like room occupancy and temperature and communicate with your IoT-enabled home devices.
Having an EV gives you an emission-free transport option and extra energy storage for your home. Right now there are plenty of EV models and home EV chargers available in Thailand. Delta AC Mini Plus EV Charger (7.36kW) is an official charger for top EV brands and is a superb choice for overnight charging. When Thailand adopts bidirectional EV charging, you can get power from your EV’s battery during emergencies.
Healthy, green living with indoor air solutions and DC fans
Even before COVID-19, Thailand’s toxic haze made breathing a hazardous activity. During lockdowns, our crowded, airtight and air-conditioned homes become like petri dishes of air pollution from bacteria, mold, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and CO2. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) recommends that homes receive 0.35 air changes per hour and not less than 15 cubic feet of air per minute (cfm) per person.
You can breathe easier at home with the Delta’s Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) solution, which supplies fresh air through High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters removing 97% of PM2.5. The secret to the ERV’s efficiency is its heat-exchanger core that pre-cools air passing to the inside while returning moisture from air passing to the outside. This technology can reduce outside air temperature by up to 6°C and humidity by up to 16% to help save up to 30% of energy usage for air conditioning in tropical Thailand.
Besides pollution, another serious risk to your health and home interior is all the moisture that builds up from showers, cooking and Thailand’s humid weather. You need efficient exhaust fans, especially in your bathrooms. Delta’s ENERGY STAR-qualified DC motor fans last up to 70% longer and save up to 74% more power compared with many popular AC motor models from global brands. Choosing DC brushless motor fans gives you much better efficiency, durability, lightweight, and quietness compared with AC fans.
