Zero Energy House: A Sustainable Vision for the Future

The video discusses a Swedish team's design of a Zero Energy House, which is entirely self-sufficient and unplugged from external energy sources. It uses solar cells and wind power to meet its energy needs, storing excess energy in batteries or as hydrogen for later use. The house has been nominated for the Index 2005 Danish design award. Despite high construction costs, the creators are optimistic about future affordability.
