Odooproject Prefab by Solar Decathlon Team Hungary Boasts a Ceiling-Integrated Water Cooling System

Competition is heating up as the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/solar-decathlon/">Solar Decathlon Europe</a> draws closer, and we're continuing our complete coverage of the event with <a href="http://www.odooproject.com/en/gallery/house_g.html">Odooproject</a> - a solar-powered prefab home with a ceiling-integrated water cooling system. A team of 50 talented architects and engineers from Hungary created this compact home, which is modeled after Hungarian folk architecture and strives to strike harmony with nature all year round.

SDE 2012 Team Hungary designed Odooproject - a solar-powered prefab that is comfortable all-year round

The home is organized around a central courtyard that is common in Hungarian folk architecture

Natural light and ventilation optimize comfort inside

The home is cooled by circulating water through ceiling-integrated water pipes and sprinkling it on the rooftop solar panels at night to cool off

Building-integrated photovoltaic panels provide energy, which is conserved through passive design

The team from Hungary are ready to roar. Madrid, here we come!
