What the hell?! Yeah, it’s a house. Designed in collaboration by Unsangdong Architects and Kolon Institute of Technology, the E+ Green Home is fantastic. I think much of the value is in really examining the drawings and images closely, but there are a few things worth noting. Such as the fact that a total of 95 green technologies were employed throughout the house.
High-performance insulation coupled with high-density triple-paned windows and exceptional air-tightness work together with concrete thermal mass to create a baseline of performance already better than most residential dwellings. Solar-hot-water and PV cells provide for energy needs. And rather than air conditioning or sacrificing enclosure, the house employs the relatively new technology of radiative cooling.
