Plus Energy FOLD House by Solar Decathlon Team DTU Can Be Erected in Multiple Configurations

We were especially curious to see what the <a href="http://solardecathlon.dk/wordpress/">Technical University of Denmark's team</a> would pull off for this year's <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/solar-decathlon/">Solar Decathlon in Europe</a>, and we're happy to say they don't disappoint. Their <a href="http://inhabitat.com/stunning-zero-plus-energy-lab-at-hawaii-preparatory-academy/">plus energy</a> Fold house, which incorporates principles of integrated energy design formed in part by Copenhagen-based starchitect <a href="http://inhabitat.com/new-canary-islands-concert-hall-has-a-semi-intelligent-shading-facade/">Henning Larsen</a> can be built to different sizes and configured in a variety of ways depending on each site's specific properties.

FOLD is a plus energy prefab designed by Team DTU for the 2012 Solar Decathlon in Europe

Rooftop photovoltaics produce more energy than the house can use itself

The unique configuration can be adjusted to fit each site's particular conditions

A three-point system ensures optimum efficiency

Team DTU believes that design and sustainability both require a collaborative and communal mindset

The Solar Decathlon is just a few days away and Team DTU is working around the clock to get their house finished
