Purification
For someone with Environmental Illness, filtering air and water is essential for health. Air filters vary a lot in the quality of filtration, what they filter out, how often filters need to be changed, and how costly they are. In a space as small as my house, it's an advantage to be able to mount the filter on the wall and save floor space. A single water filter will work for all my drinking, cooking and bathing needs.

Electricity
How will I run the lights, appliances, computer, fans, and other power consuming machinery? Because I can't use propane or other petroleum products, I'll need a lot of electrical energy.

Climate Control
Without propane, I need to figure out other sources of heat that as well as being chemically safe, don't emit a strong EMF field. And air conditioning uses a lot of energy, but high temperatures are bad for my health. High humidity is a hazard of small living spaces. Breath alone adds a lot of moisture, and when you add cooking, bathing and growing plants, dehumidifying become essential. How will I control the interior climate of my space?

Water
As a child I helped my best friend carry water uphill from a spring, and our home used rainwater that rain from our roof to a cement holding tank. I learned how to bathe and wash my hair with three mugs of water during dry season. But I'm going to need filtered water for drinking, cooking and bathing, water for washing clothing & dishes, and for watering plants. I may also need it for generating hydrogen to fuel my truck. So where will I store in the meantime, and how will I get it flowing with the least use of electrical pumps, without requiring me to hand pump it?

Waste
Recyclables, comport, sewage and grey water all have to go somewhere outside my tiny world. How and where will I dispose of waste?
