Eco-Friendly House: Zero Emission House

To coincide with the G8 summit, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan is constructing a futuristic residential house. The Zero Emission House is a single-storied steel structure prefabricated house with a total floor area of approximately 200 meters². The exterior has been designed to imbue traditional Japanese beauty. The house will showcase state-of-the-art Japanese energy and environmental technology to the world, with features including a 14.5kW capacity photovoltaic generation system, energy efficient lighting, a household fuel cell, and energy saving household appliances.

The Zero Emission House goes one step beyond Sekisui House’s Carbon Neutral House in its use of state-of-the-art global warming prevention technology, and the CO₂reduction achieved with its photovoltaic generation system substantially exceeds the volume of CO2emissions. Using the Sekisui House management system, zero emission of waste material has been achieved at the Zero Emission House.
