A typical project in the project portfolio A building owner wants to install a solar system or improve the energy efficiency of a building. There are different ways to proceed: 1. The owner purchases and installs the items needed to improve energy efficiency using an organization like Cyberhata ltd to manage the project. In this approach the owner pays for the equipment and installation and has the benefits of energy savings accrue directly to the owner. For these projects, Cyberhata ltd uses 'Construction Financing' to fund the supply of equipment and installation and earns a return from the sale of the project. 2. The owner agrees to have a solar energy system installation installed the owner's building with Cyberhata ltd retaining ownership of the equipment. The benefits of energy efficiency improvement accrue to the owner and Cyberhata ltd on an agreed basis.

Applications developed mechatronic device-bioclimatic facade with "smart window" allows to reduce energy losses on heating and generate enhanced comfort living.In summer period the device can perform the solar  shading functions.

We would recommend the creation of a prototype -transformeing house and use it as a testing site laboratory  for architectural mechatronics devices.

Perspective directions:

Integration with Cyber-enabled devices:

1. Transforming  internal partitions and furniture -transformery.

2.Transforming facade elements (bioclimatic facades, sliding shutters).

3.Transforming (sliding or mooving ) roof.

4. The device engineering systems with alternative (natural) sources of energy.

5. Using the rotary bearings (hut on chicken legs, home-tulip type).

6. The exterior  walls  with  the replaceable characteristics.

7.Comfort light, sound, termal pc-controlled environment.

Robots with every passing day occupy an increasingly prominent place not only in the production and military affairs, but also in our daily life, in the home, in everyday life .And if we define architecture as the art of creating an artificial environment, then  today, according to the requirements of the day, we need to talk  about creating art of cyber-environment, as the  subject to special requirements of the new technology and design.

So, the  futurologists from  Jacque Fresco to George Orwell provide different scenarios for the development of post-industrial society-filled ideas of humanism (the project "Venus"), a new world, where robots will be released Man of hard work and  who being in the comfort will get a chance for spiritual Grought and to misanthropic cybernetic slavery (George Orwell "1985") .But in reality,the  same experiments on the introduction of the idea of ​​"Smart house" rarely go beyond the creation of an integral remote management appliances that does not carry the novelty (it is possible to create an analogue to the base unit  of the middle of the last century ) and it does not meet the time requirements.

Without changing the ideas of ancient humanism ( "Man is the measure of all things") and for the developing the philosophy of the "Archigram" and  Jacque Fresco we want to offer the concept of cyber -environment, corresponding to the ideas of humanism and the current level of technology development,with  the idea of ​​transforming  home-as cybernetic mechanism, with its self-contained electronic brain, sensors and mechatronic actuators, as well as integrated engineering and energy systems  with alternative (natural) sources use.

The idea of ​​the cybernetic mechanism allows you to adopt it as the home shell itself  and the interior space to the dynamically changing of the  funutsional and climatic requirements, which gives increased comfort of living and increases the energy efficiency of housing. We consider the house as an integrated system that allows for the modern idea of ​​"Gipercontextual  architecture", where house- as a living organism, instantly changing according to the requirements of the external environment and internal functions.

 The Classic architectural analysis of objects is to study the qualities of the trinity "Fuction(Usefulity)-Strength-Beauty" (according to Vitruvius), and the support system of the building is determined by Heino Engel as "management device for forces." The invention of reinforced concrete at the beginning of the last century made it possible to clearly separate the bearing and enclosing (protective) structures of buildings, apply the "free plan" inside buildings and "tape glazing" facades, "operated the roof spaces and " free  first floor" on poles that fell on the century in the idea of ​​a new functionalist style ( "constructivism" in the USSR), which determines the priority of function  over the other qualities of architecture,making the new style.The principles of functionalism identified in the works by the great French architect Le Corbusier, proclaiming the slogan "Home- is machine for living"

Developing his idea, according to the requirements of the new time, we can say today, "House -is the cybermachine  for property", integrating mechatronic devices in the home space and creating a cyber-environment, as well as equipping the mechanical house facadefencing arrangements (bioclimatic facades), transforming a skin dynamically to changing climate conditions. The work on the creation of energy-efficient best cyber environment can be observed as the optimization of the final consumer in the frame of scientigic research  topics of  the Robot Department  SFU to establish a cyber-city energy system.

The disadvantages of usual homes  is  massiveness and immutability layout and facades,huge lost of unmanaged energy for facilities needs.

And the next level- smart homes -are limited by control system and the human operator, are essentially integrated remote control with sensors, without the possibility of transformation of form and adoptation.

And the top level- the transforming House- is the building, including the benefits of smart home, but having the ability to dynamically Adaptats  to changing climate conditions and functional requirements of the tenants at the expense of transformation forms, which is ensured by a complex mechatronic devices from  controlled by a microcontroller bioclimatic facades- till transformable furniture and sliding partitions.

In this context, we consider the house as a dynamic cyber-response system (transformation) to changes in the external environment and the desire to host.

In due course, the  systems engineering equipment is a tendency to unite them into an integrated engineering( mechanical) system.

As a rule, low-rise buildings use water and air heating systems.

And less often, the heating system on solid fuel (stoves and fireplaces).

The heat source can operate on a solid (coal), liquid (diesel) gaseous (methane gas) fuel.

When we were at the air heating system prepares the air not only on the temperature settings, but additionally moisturize or cool it, we need the air conditioning system.

All of these systems are very energy intensive, and emit carbon monoxide, negatively affecting the environment.

Therefore, from the middle of the last century, people began to look for the best energy-efficient solutions.

Many effective solutions can be found with traditional national architecture and borrow in the construction, since it is  climatically assumed that (enlargement) of the hot-cold-dry-wet, and their various combinations.

It was not enough, and people turned to Nature- energy of sun, wind, land and water.

And the interesting technologies have been developed for the use of natural energy sources

At the same time began to distinguish passive systems (home) directly accumulating the natural energy (geocollectors ,Tromb  wall , etc.) by heating the massive structures and others-active systems (home), where the natural solar energy is converted into electrical energy by fotogalvanic effect (solar) ,wind energy, through wind turbines, hydro-through hydro turbines (hydro)

Optimal solutions lie in a hybrid approach-in  joint using of traditions and new technologies

So, our house (basic version) is one-storey house with a sun trap and smart windows.

Square plan was not chosen randomly circle and a square-shaped for optimal thermal parameters, unnecessarily. It contains a large area with a minimum area of ​​the exterior walls, which in itself reduces heat loss (best compactness factor).

U-shaped (circular terrace) with panoramic exterior walls, stained glass windows provide excellent access sunlight into premises of the house, and transformers shutters can serve as a trap for the sun, and sun protection by computer's controll.As the option by variable design it is considered to replace the internal stained glass of the Great Living room on  solid brick or Trombe wall, playing the role of the heat accumulator.

As a variant pool veranda roof with tubular heat exchanger in massive concrete.

The house is to be equipped with adjustable LED lighting system by microcontroller management.

On the north façade had set additional decorative lattice door, "Jali" -to pleasantly cool on hot days by the pool makes the atmosphere in the house nicer without working air conditioners.

On the flat roof is provided an apparatus of solar battery module.

In the House there is a stand-alone control unit and its own weather station.

This project allows us to solve the problem of heating the building and create a comfortable environment by  architectural mechatronics tools.

We can say that we explored how new technologies and architectural traditions of variability and applied design, advanced version aimed at the integration of Cossack traditions and cyber technology- "KiberHata")))

Yet there was this idea-as an option-space layout on the sides used for bedrooms, bathrooms from the north leave and laundry room, and a large bedroom to use as a kitchen-dining room.

This will give an option close to the Cossack hut with a storeroom on the north (it was in a house in Bataisk) Storage room, not-residential corridor storage room,so called "Chulan". This allows you to make non-residential premises to the north (kitchen, laundry, bathroom units and to further guard against the cold bourder. (Where the temperature may be less than 18C, as a variant Dike earthen mound of earth).

We calculated the heat loss from the shell-house transformer in two limits- when opening and closing the shutters. The calculation showed that the specific consumption for heating the building when applying transformable shutter varies by 8 times (323.28 (KDzhouley / m2gradososutki- 41.54 /KDzhouley m2gradososutki) that the application of microprocessor control system makes it possible to adapt the house's envelope to the dynamic  of climate change impact providing an effective heat protection. The transforming window is manufactured by Italian company Like blinds S.r.l. and called FUSION-Horizontal folding shutter( www.likeblinds.com).It is possible to use similar products
