The house, built as part of the NO.V.A. project, will also be the world's first home of the future to serve as a "living lab", with people living there and testing its innovative solutions on a daily basis
Construction of the home of the future will begin before the end of 2015 and scheduled to finish before the start of the 2016 Olympics in Rio
The house can make decisions by itself thanks to a set of sensors and remote-controlled equipment
Construction work will generate up to 85% less waste and 80% less carbon emissions than construction of a house of comparable size
The house will be energy and water self-sufficient and feature real-time measurement and display of water, electricity and gas consumption through smart metering equipment. It will also feature smart electricity appliances and an organic garden for food production covering an area of up to 1,000 m²
