Japanese Eco House Goes Beyond 'CO2 Neutrality'

Japanese Eco House Goes Beyond 'CO2 Neutrality' -- Tech-On!

Eyeful Home Company of Tostem Housing Institute Co Ltd built a house that contributes to absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) more than it emits.

The house, "Super-sustainable Model House Next+ Nagaiki Style," is equipped with green and health-related devices. Tostem Housing plans to commercialize some of the systems used in the house in 2011.

The Next+ Nagaiki Style is the third-generation model of the concept home that Tostem Housing started to build in 2008. The first- and second-generation models are aimed at CO2 neutrality (net zero CO2 emissions). But the goal with the new model is to realize what the company calls "CO2 minus life" or to reduce more CO2 than it emits.
