Team CASA: Building Living Lab Homes

Our Vision

We envision – and will contribute to – an imminent future where all homes are comfortable, affordable and sustainable.

Comfortable

Designing homes with comfort and health in mind ensures that people want to live in them. In addition, homes should provide a healthy indoor climate and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Affordable

More often than not, what limits the availability of a technology to the general market is its cost. By improving efficiencies in materials, time and energy, these new homes should be no more expensive than an average home.

Sustainable

Currently, we need more than three times the land area available on earth to sustain our society. Homes should be designed so that the ecological footprint of its residents is neutral or even better.

Alternative

While policymakers make promises about reducing emissions and stopping climate change, the construction market is slow to adapt. Housing alternatives must come fast if society is to stop climate change in this generation.
