The Fab Lab House Project is designed by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC).  It was chosen to be one of the participants of the Solar Decathlon Europe competition in Madrid, Spain.

It has a very unique design and utilizes solar power as you see on the roof.  The house uses the resources of the environment (water, sun, and wind) to adapt accordingly.

The house has a control panel which gives you information as to how much power the lights, oven and washing machine are consuming.  It also tells you how much power is being produced by solar power, and much more–there are things it does that I don’t yet understand!

The control system is designed to provide real time monitoring of the technology within the house as well as the environment.  It also keeps historical information along with the capability of sharing this information socially (through the web? I’m not sure!).

So here are a few pictures of the Solar House.  If you click the link you’ll be directed to the fab lab house’s official website where you can see/learn more.  Before you leave check out the photos and video below. :)
