Energy saving house: 6 most interesting examples

Houses like these are the future.Representing the most promising developments in the field of modern house-building, the projects once again amaze with their thoughtfulness and external attractiveness. Combining the principles of energy efficiency and increased resistance to extreme climatic conditions, these new products, thanks to their unique design, are becoming a truly desirable object for purchase. They are not afraid of tornadoes, floods or earthquakes, they do not need electricity, since solar panels satisfy all needs. The safety of life in such houses is combined with comfort, and the apparent simplicity of the design carries great functionality. Sure House This project is developed by a youngby a research team at the Stevenson Institute of Technology, inspired by Hurricane Sandy, which raged in 2012 on the northeastern coast of the United States. Such a house is able to withstand the wrath of the elements, and its obvious advantages are energy efficiency and economic attractiveness. Special composite materials and massive folding blinds during a storm make the house look like a fortress, which is not afraid of waves up to two meters high, as well as thunderstorms and wind. Grow Home University at Buffalo Offersa slightly different concept of the house. Almost 72 square meters of space include a bedroom, a bathroom and a green greenhouse, in which you can grow vegetables all year round, providing yourself with all the necessary vitamins. For city dwellers, such a combined house-garden will become a good outlet, from which breathes comfort and the appeal of an almost rural lifestyle. ShelteR³ Multilayer walls and protectedWindow systems will not only protect this house, which currently exists only as a project, from tornadoes and other natural disasters, but will also allow it to be used as a mobile unit for emergency response. The simple design is prefabricated, the house can be moved or assembled in various ways, and sliding panels will turn these 90 square meters into something like a cube - dense and stable. Nexus Haus International team fromGerman and Texas universities proposed a house that became the subject of the most criticism in the competition. The thing is that this concept is not suitable for densely populated areas due to the open spaces provided in the design. The modular system allows it to be assembled like a construction set, and the areas located under the canopies create zones of natural ventilation. These canopies have low light transmittance, and moisture from rain can accumulate in them, which is used in the house as one of the main sources of water supply. Dura Home Ambitious project presentsa single-family home with the same sliding panels, but in smaller quantities. It is planned to be manufactured in real size this month and donated to the disabled community after a competition. Such a house combines the principles of energy saving, accessibility and innovative design. Nest Home Natural material from whichThe house is built, reminiscent of both the appearance and the name of birds that build their homes in exactly the same way. It can be called a "family nest" and not be mistaken in the description. The steel foundation provides a stable platform for the house, made up of containers. And the solar panels are enough not only to fill it with warmth and light, but also to charge a car and heat water.
