Off-Grid Eco-House Fitted with Clean Energy Technologies

One of the United Nations Millennium Sustainable Development Goals (SDG11) aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable by 2030.

It is in the same approach that we have designed a completely self-reliant off-grid eco-house that is built with used shipping containers and is fitted with the latest renewable energy technolologies. The Eco-House is consciously designed through locally owned participatory processes in all four dimensions of sustainability (social, culture, ecology, and economy) to regenerate social and natural environments.

This concept is suitable for individuals, projects, organizations, and international entities looking to run projects in an environment that is completely sustainable. It can hold six family members. Each unit has a small farm that grows crops for food.

 

Key Features

1. Container Technology

The Eco-Houses are built using the latest container fabrication technology and provides convenience with its electrical and water installation, heat, and sound insulation, making the units functional all seasons. All the manufacturing and the fabrication process happens at yard in Thika. We do a complete unit ready to ship and install.

2. Biogas System

The Eco-Houses are fitted with Home Biogas Systems that turns waste into clean energy. The system bacteria naturally breakdown the organic matter into two outstanding by-products: cooking gas and fertilizer. The organic fertilizer is used to grow healthy kitchen garden crops proving a healthy way of recycling animal waste and growing healthy garden crops best for human consumption.

3. Water Filtration System

The eco-houses come with clean water makers; Nut Filtration, which purifies water from any source into clean and healthy drinking water.The technology is based on a worldwide patent in water treatment. Ultra-filtration filters at 3.3nm nominal filtration rate. Any water source or lake water (*except saltwater and chemicals such as near mines) can be treated to purify most pathogens, parasites, bacteria, suspended solids, most of the organic matters and most viruses.

4. Solar Water Heaters

It also comes with an integrated solar water heater that combines a water tank and collector into one unit. Our patented SOLO-Plasma integrated solar water geyser is unlike any solar geyser found in the world. Fully customizable to any existing plumbing.

5. Solar PV

The Eco-Village is fitted with a solar power system that only needs a few hours of sun to power lamps, computers, fans, TVs and other small electronic appliances and devices like electric mosquito repellent.

 

The Shipping Container Village is designed as a semi-subterranean living option purposed to demonstrate the affordability, beauty, and energy, materials, efficiency and sustainability of shipping container construction. The Eco-Houses make a perfect off-grid Eco-Village that is best for remote camps, Humanitarian Response, NGOs and institutions.
