The "ki" nari house: ecological zero-energy concept.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The "ki" nari house is an experimental home built in the suburbs of Okayama. It is designed to harmonise with the environment and is geared towards a zero-energy concept. The wooden house has a roof covered by sedum rock plants, large windows and doors on the south side, interior mud walls with mineral wool insulation, and floors heated by a solar collector. The thermal capacity of the building is enhanced by a concrete slab, which minimises the need for mechanical heating and cooling.
