The transportable 3 bedroom residence provides electrical energy production/storage capabilities, as well as rainwater collection and a 3 stage liquid waste recycling. The residence is air-conditioned throughout winter and summer, has hot water and is fully equipped with furniture, kitchen compatible with appliances of high energy class and a comfortable bathroom. It is ideal for seasonal or annual use without the necessity for connections to the main electricity and water supply / drainage-sewerage networks.

The ZEB residence is made of a metallic frame with external aluminum or wood cladding and internal plywood panel lining or gypsum boards. The shell is insulated with rock mineral wool (RMW) or / and polystyrene plates surrounding the perimeter and the openings are covered with aluminum or wood frames.

For a better climatic response and a parallel reduction of energy requirements, placement on the East-West axis with the large openings facing south is recommended, in order to ensure natural cooling and shading during the Vernal months.

It is equipped with 18-20 P/V panels of 5kW power capacity in total and the necessary electrical layouts for generating and storing electricity. Additionally these are combined externally with a wind generator and 2 solar thermal panels for direct hot water production. Finally, it comes with all the necessary mechanical engineering equipment for connections to the main networks when required.

It can be combined with a seasonal vegetable garden of approximately 50 m², which would be irrigated and fertilized from the derivatives of the residence’s biological treatment and rainwater collection installation.

While having annual zero environmental footprint, its operation during the Vernal months results in excess electricity, capable of charging a small electric vehicle.
