This project aimed to create a high performance eco house on a general budget. The south side of the house is almost completely open in order to obtain solar radiation, and an atrium connects the first and second floors to allow air circulation. The heat source for the hot water supply is a solar system using solar heat and city gas to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Q-value is 1.14W/m2-K and the C-value is 0.44m2/m2.
