| A house of the future from 2091: 1991 designed and 2001 finished. A vision about living in the age of solar energy supported by many future-oriented companies. | |||
| Heat recovery from outgoing air | 
| ||
| The warm outgoing air gives the biggest part of the heat energy to the cold incoming air. Even necessary for low energy houses. With plus energy houses a must. | |||
| Sound absorber of the ventilating system | 
| ||
| Huge sound absorbers at the ventilating system guarantee living comfort. Energy saving which does not influence the comfort. | |||
| Gear drive with wheels to turn the house |
