leaders from several groups will be performing at the Solar decathlon competition which will soon be held in madrid. The amazing Armadillo Box by the French team from École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Grenoble is the group that has endured in the lead were rated first in the Solar decathlon competition for more than one week.
but in fact, at this Armadillos Box House are ranked three behind IKAROS House of the University of Rosenheim and leader of the first order came from U.S. – Virginia Polytechnic’s Lumenhaus.
The competition is currently under strict competition conditions.
Armadillo Box if the exterior will be energy efficient homes and interiors can beat the cold high-tech facade Lumenhaus’ shift? we’ll see the results of the two teams in the competition this weekend.
Armadillo box, this name is inspired by the creatures that live out in the desert. This creature has the texture of the shell on the outside is very sturdy and unique, useful functions to slow the metabolism of these creatures in order to keep the temperature cool in the desert heat.
As for the french team using the same methods and concepts with the armadillo box minimize energy use and the excessive heat by placing the core systems of energy in the home.
Prefabricated modules use a common raw materials and cheap to form the main structure, while the outer shell covering the entire house, providing shade and electricity to large photovoltaic systems.
Designed for the pair, the interior of the house is set up with an efficient, flexible, and can easily enter any room and well ventilated with large doors that open to a deck.
Furniture is designed to be easy to move, for the purposes of different configurations such as sleeping or entertaining, which allows us to design the best use of the interior of the house of an efficient and simple.
Floor to ceiling windows shaded by a large overhang on the south facade, which allows us to get natural sunlight while keeping the hot sun. Rainwater can be collected, used to supply water-efficient system cooling mist (although at the time the competition has not been much rain). Just a few more categories of fixed prizes, and winners will be determined on Sunday,
