Since ancient times, mankind has always been searching for ways to liveunder extreme conditions. With the advancement of technology, thereare increasing possible directions for human living environment. In theInternational Solar Decathlon, we tried to make carbon neutrality a realityin a dry thermal surrounding. We combined the modified traditional local wind tower and atrium withour house, endowing it with the ability to adjust the ventilation patternsaccording to the changeful external weather. We selected the best modelby simulation of different dimensions and utilized the Home Assistancesystem for smart management.

Design the interlayer

After determining the basic dimensions of the house, the interlayer height needs to befurther derived, and the ventilation and wind blocking should be met, thus requiringseveral simulations to get the optimum height.

Get weather data

Obtaining Climate Information to Analyze Natural Ventilation Patterns in the General Case

Simulation for interlayer height

Input the previously acquired environmental data and simulate it under different interlayer heights to obtain the most suitable result.

Home aassistant

Achievement of optimum energy efficiency through automated control.

In the HOME ASSISTANT, we have completed the integration of most of intelligent devices, automation and the scene mode.

Construction

Modular design makes the box easy to transport and easy to build.
