  • Plus-Energy House with Electromobility
    The Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart just unveiled a concept home that is not just net zero -- it's actually designed to generate excess energy to charge electric cars within its futuristic carport. Similar to many of the homes in the solar decathlon, this home is packed to the gills with integrated green technologies and fed by huge rooftop solar electric and thermal arrays. The home has an open face to the street side that showcases its systems with a interactive display — it's essentially a show room of integrated sustainable design and transportation for the future, and it's set to be built in Berlin by the German government. Now you can have a house to go with your new Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt.
