Guess with so many eco-houses and eco-towns spurting in many corners of the world, it wouldn’t be late before our whole planet can be dubbed as eco-earth! Latest to crop up on the trends of eco-houses is the Eco House in Spain. This good-looking dwelling it aims to be the first zero carbon footprint home in Andalusia. Spread over 7,000 square feet, it is built with two-thirds less waste than traditional models and operates 80% more efficiently than similar sized home. However the most notable and green feature of this building is the solar roof that sits wing-like above the structure. The position of the angle holds the solar panels in the right position to maximize energy capture while also hiding them from view. Though this aspect aims to make the best of the heat from sun, at the same time, the shape also allows less heat transmitted into the house as the space between the two rooflines allows air to pass over the building adding to the cooling effect. Roll over for stunning images and fall in love with this green castle…..
