The one bedroom, one bathroom unit ingeniously generates more energy than it uses. The first model was recently installed as an exhibition in a public square in Melbourne, Australia, but the company plans to make more for resale.\u00a0Designed to face north, the small unit harnesses natural forces to minimize the manmade carbon footprint and actually gives back to the environment. Underground tubes help cool the house, and \u201cairtight building envelope\u201d technology keeps energy from escaping wastefully. The roof features solar panels, which power the unit, plus green space for growing herbs and vegetables.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">(<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"Carbon-Positive House\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mymodernmet.com\/profiles\/blogs\/archiblox-carbon-neutral-house?context=tag-architecture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8537 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Carbon-Positive House&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div  style='height:10px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  \" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8539 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/archiblox2edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/archiblox2edit.jpg 675w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/archiblox2edit-112x80.jpg 112w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/archiblox2edit-260x185.jpg 260w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/archiblox2edit-450x321.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div   avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  \" ><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This amazing prototype, rolled out by green architectural and manufacturing firm ArchiBlox, is billed as the first pre-fabricated, carbon-positive house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":8540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8537"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8537"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18995,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8537\/revisions\/18995"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
