Eco Factor: Self-sustaining house generates renewable energy.
The Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design at the University of Stuttgart has unveiled a new concept home that not only generates power for itself, but can also help the homeowner charge his or her EV with homemade electricity.
Christened the Plus-Energy House with Electromobility, the zero-energy house includes several integrated green technologies such as a rooftop array of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal generators. The concept home also features an open face that showcases its systems with an interactive display.
The designers claim that the concept house has super efficient systems that control and divert the energy to electric vehicles in the garage or send excess electricity to the grid.
