THE EFDEN HOME – by Team EFdeN

Bucharest, Romania

The EFdeN house was designed by Romania’s university team as an entry to the prestigious “Solar Decathlon Europe 2014” contest. The home was assembled in Paris for the summer contest and is now being repositioned at the Technical University off Construction – Faculty of Installation Engineering in Bucharest. The EFDEN house successfully defines sustainability and integrated green and healthy materials. The central architectural prototype is a greenhouse providing a multi-functional integrated green space that delivers urban farming/food production, natural daylight, indoor air quality, and passive solar heating as well as a relaxing living space. The project is pursuing the ambitious “Living Building Challenge” green building certification as well as the Green Homes certification from the Romania Green Building Council.
