Triple-Zero Houses

  • Energy self-sufficient (zero energy consumed)
  • Produces zero emissions
  • Made entirely of recyclable materials (zero waste)

How It's Used

"Overlooking the city of Stuttgart in southern Germany, a four-story modern glass house stands like a beacon of environmental sustainability. Built in 2000, it was the first in a series of buildings that are 'triple-zero,' a concept developed by German architect and engineer Werner Sobek, which signifies that the building is energy self-sufficient (zero energy consumed), produces zero emissions, and is made entirely of recyclable materials (zero waste)."

—Carina Storrs, "Lightweight 'triple-zero' house produces more energy than it uses," Scientific American, December 5, 2009.
