Abstract

A case study of innovative materials and sustainable design. Home+ is the result of an interdisciplinary university team enrolled at the Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 competition (Cremers (2011), Cremers (2010), Cremers and Eicker (2010), Cremers and Palla (2011) and Fiedler (2009)). The concept combines modularity of inner spaces with an efficient energy system in which one key element is a ventilation tower, a traditional building element renewed by using new technologies.
