The IIT Students Who Built An Award-Winning House

Team Shunya

Picture this: An independent house that will stand for half a century and pay for itself after the first 10 years.

It generates more electricity than it consumes, reuses its own wastewater and is certified carbon-neutral.

The well-lit interiors remain cool even after the AC is switched off.

And you can turn on the geyser while lounging on the sofa!

No longer a figment of imagination, this is a very concrete (but almost concrete-free) residence.

Members of the award-winning Team Shunya tell Mrigank Warrier how they built a carbon-neutral, water-neutral, energy-positive home for a family of four. Read about it on Rediff.com, here.
