The ZeroHome 2.0 makes it abundantly clear that building an environmentally sound home amounts to more than slapping on a pair of solar cells. Instead, you have to rebuild and redesign the entire edifice from start to bottom, and the ZeroHome 2.0 shows us how.
Beyond the state-of-the-art solar panels installed on the roof, this concept house looks relatively inconspicuous, but design studio KH Homes has made it abundantly clear that most of the eco-friendly changes are hidden, between the walls or outright invisible. Insulation, a rain-catching system and a solar-powered water heater all help this model building reach carbon neutrality very quickly. Best of all, when operating under normal use, the ZeroHome 2.0 is expected to supply surplus electricity—imagine receiving a payment from the electric company!
