Eco Factor: Sustainable house powered by solar energy.
Bridge Development Corp. has unveiled the designs of the world’s smallest sustainable house that can comfortably accommodate a family of four. Dubbed Nano Living Systems, the prefabricated house is equipped with SIPs and ready for solar panels, a green roof and rainwater harvesting systems.
The Nano is built using a passive design and prefabricated metal SIPs that are capable of supporting structures as high as four stories. Each house also comes fitted with wiring, plumbing and furnishings. The home can be entirely powered by solar panels while the green roof and gray water recycling system can reduce freshwater demands.
Measuring just 200 square feet, the house can also incorporate solar heat pumps. The interiors have been designed with traditional Chinese feng shui accepts that focus on well-being within the house.
