Take a look at these <strong>Floating Solar Homes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenworldinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WaterNest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20876\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenworldinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WaterNest.jpg\" alt=\"WaterNest\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, architects have already done it!\u00a0designed by renowned Italian architect, Giancarlo Zema,\u00a0<strong>WaterNest<\/strong>\u00a0is an <strong>eco-friendly floating solar house<\/strong>,\u00a0with 100 square meters circular layout, 12 meters in diameter and 4 metres in height,\u00a0having balconies and\u00a0large windows to enjoy fascinating views over the water. Not only do these houses look beautiful from the outside, but sophisticated furnishings and tasteful designs make it a cool living option.

A floating home\u00a0can be situated along river courses, lakes, bays, atolls and sea areas with calm waters.\u00a0It has solar panels seamlessly attached to its rooftops which increases its aesthetic value and also makes it a\u00a0low-consumption residential habitat. Power from the solar panels can be used for lighting and air-conditioning. In addition, each house is designed focusing on internal natural micro-ventilation and air conditioning. Each of these houses is constructed using recyclable materials\u00a0made entirely of recycled laminated timber and a recycled aluminum hull.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It could a beautiful and environment-friendly living option especially for many in the developing economies. Our houseboats in Kashmir could adopt some of these options and convert into self-sustainable and greener units. These houseboat owners\/ operators currently use\u00a0diesel or kerosene engines to run their houseboats, polluting the lakes and air in Kashmir. In fact, a Parliamentary Committee had also suggested introducing solar panels over the roof of the houseboats to meet a large portion of their energy demands and curb pollution, especially in Kashmir and Kerala where houseboats are the main tourists&#8217; attraction.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian real estate\u00a0developers should start thinking along these lines and create something that has <strong>beautiful aesthetics, eco-friendly and anti-polluting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floating Solar Homes &#8211; A beautiful Rooftop Solar Application As Indians, it is our dream to own a house of our own and we start saving<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[101,45],"tags":[324,1587,1984,4849,5731,5820],"class_list":["post-20875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rooftop-solar","category-solar-renewable-energy-greeninvest","tag-advantages-of-solar-home","tag-eco-friendly-floating-solar-house","tag-floating-solar-home","tag-solar-home","tag-uses-of-floating-solar-home","tag-waternest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20875\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
