Carbon negative, self-funded and scalable are just a few words to describe BillionBricks and Architecture Brio's PowerHYDE. This model of PowerHyde affordable solar homes are models that aim to help solve the global housing and climate crisis.
The PowerHYDE housing model was created by Prasoon Kumar and Robert Verrijt of Billion Bricks in India and Singapore. The housing model won a Holcim Award for Sustainable Construction.
PowerHYDE House explores sustainable means and solutions to empower and facilitate growth opportunities for homeless people in Southeast Asia. These homes are now being used to create entire sust C Level Executive List ainable communities that help lift homeowners out of poverty.
“We have created a new framework for sustainable living with affordable solar homes”
Its creators affirm that the design of this housing model is the new era of sustainability in home construction, since they are scalable, they are inclusive and of course by integrating design, technology and commerce, they have created a new framework for sustainable living: a triple bottom line solution that addresses the systemic issues of housing, energy access and climate change. One that has a powerful ripple effect and immense ability to uplift humanity.
“A BillionBricks community is the world's first community of carbon-negative solar-powered homes to lift families out of poverty in a generation,” the designers said.
The project presents an opportunity to shape the future of how homes are built. It helps both people become homeowners and construction projects to create their own renewable energy, helping the climate crisis . It is a radical concept in housing designed for energy sufficiency and extreme affordability.
Affordable solar homes
BillionBricks PowerHYDE affordable solar homes are built using an indigenous prefabricated assembly technique
This prefabricated assembly process facilitates assembly in remote locations. The house has a solar panel installed on the roof , and the owner can sell the excess energy generated to electric companies, generating a profit that helps pay for the cost of the house.
“BillionBricks homes are plug-and-play modular homes that do not need any connection to utilities and could be made functional from the day of construction completion,” explained BillionBricks.
The houses produce their energy and also collect % of their rainwater, clean their wastewater, and potentially grow their own food. Future BillionBricks homes will be integrated with smart technologies to further improve their performance.
Sample houses have been built in Mathjalgaon Village in India and the Philippines. These prototypes were donated and the energy generated there is used entirely by neighboring families or community facilities.
BillionBricks is now planning an entire community of homes near Manila, Philippines, that will generate megawatts of power.
