Eco Factor: Off-grid energy-saving house powered by solar energy.
A team of student designers at Tianjin University have unveiled their futuristic home that doesn’t need to be connected with the grid for electrical power. Dubbed “Sunflower”, the sustainable house has been designed to participate in the Solar Decathlon 2010 competition to be held in Spain in June.
The house features an energy-saving kitchen and an efficient recycling toilet system. Moreover, the solar-powered home has been designed in a way that maximizes sun exposure to improve both active and passive energy generation.
