POWER

80% of the energy we consume comes from fossil fuel energy sources. home (2009)

​In regions where the sun, flowing water and constant wind are rare, being able to have power at an affordable rate is of utmost importance. 

In one hour, the sun gives the Earth the same amount of energy as that consumed by all humanity in one year.

​As long as the Earth exists, the sun’s energy will be inexhaustible.


All we have to do is stop drilling the Earth and start looking to the sky.

Can humans imitate plants and capture its energy?

LIFEHAUS generates it's own electricity through renewable and sustainable sources: Sun, water, wind AND humans energy, in line with passive technologies.
​Hydroturbine 1500 Watts
The vertical axis windmill is more affordable than her sister, the horizontal windmill, and it has the advantage to work in low speed winds.
​Photo-voltaic solar panel ranges from 100 to 365 watts
No electricity is required for heating or cooling.
To become energy self-sufficient on a reasonable budget, it’s necessary to reduce the consumption of electricity by adopting different optimization techniques:
The use of energy star refrigerators (super insulated if possible).
The use of LED bulbs for lighting.
​Replacing microwave ovens, electric cook-tops, ovens and grills with solar powered cooking equipment. Gas or wood-fuel technologies only being used as backup.
The use of a hand-pump, or a solar or wind powered pump instead of an electric water pump to move rainwater to the upper water tank.
The use of bicycle washing machines. You can make your own, by up-cycling an old bicycle and a washing machine drum.
Washing dishes manually.
Super-insulating your hot water tank.
