As part of our Open Home Project, an interdisciplinary and research driven response to the U.S. housing crisis, we are working to make affordable, efficient and climate resilient housing readily available. From water reclamation systems to energy storage, we are designing units to be unaffected by temporary power outages or other grid failures.
We’ve got a new paper up on the design of these housing units, land use and housing placement, energy and infrastructure considerations, and more. Check it out here.
