Medical Practice Test House in Africa
Several countries in Africa are importing lost of products and lots of shipping containers are available in the harbours. Furthermore, with lots of local inexpensive ressources, it will be possible to construct active houses to low cost, providing new homes for lover end and middle class people.
Furthermore, the constuction of the container houses makes it easy to go to remote areas, where traditional builddings, made of concrete are difficult and costly to make. Therefore, the World Flex Homes are ideals for e.g. hospitals and schools in remote areas, which is the target for our first project in Africa.
We are looking for funding of in total 500.000 USD.
Background
40% of the world’s energy is used for heating and cooling of buildings.We spend 90% of our time in buildings, however up to 30% of the building mass does not provide a healthy indoor climate. Climate challenges are global, however building environments are local.
Existing technologies can make a difference already today. Basing new buildings on the active house principles and reusing old shipping containers allows us to achieve our goals.
