Word is out of PassivDom, a passive and elegantly luxurious house designed and built in the Ukraine by Max Gerbut, a PhD of Engineering Sciences (physics of the solid state) and his start-up PassivDom.
PassivDom is the first totally autonomous house in the world that doesn’t need any fuel combustion even in Arctic climate conditions.
“The module uses only ecologically clean solar energy for all inhabitants’ needs: climate control (heating and cooling), water generation, air quality and oxygen control. The house itself produces electricity for all household appliances.
John Biggs, the East Coast Editor of TechCrunch.com calls it “pretty darn rad.”
Biggs reports,
““PassivDom is the world’s first mobile and transportable house with Passive House parameters,” said Gerbut. “Due to the use of advanced materials and unique developments by our engineers, PassivDom has the highest thermal performance among residential buildings. The walls of PassivDom are as warm as brick. Thermal characteristics are high enough to use 20 times less energy than an ordinary building. That’s why it is possible to realize full off-grid autonomy in a cold climate without complex and expensive engineering heating system.”
“The first model, the modulOne, includes solar panels that power the climate control system, a clean water system that takes moisture from the air and an air quality control system that includes carbon dioxide control. The frame is made of 3D-printed carbon fiber and fiberglass, and the entire house is recyclable.
