Integrated Innovation Models
Derived from first principles—physics over tradition—these frameworks address energy and water autonomy, affordability, comfort, and sustainability in the built environment.
Affordability
Compare product cost to raw materials—if the ratio is high, redesign. We achieve cost reduction through intelligent design, local materials, and scalable systems.
Comfort & Health
High indoor environmental quality including thermal comfort, air quality, clean water, and natural light.
Autonomy
Energy and water independence through on-site generation, collection, storage, and efficient use.
Environmental Sustainability
Circular materials, low embodied carbon, water conservation, and regenerative impact on local ecosystems.
These four pillars guide both our energy and water innovation models.
Energy Innovation Model
Balancing generation, consumption, and storage to achieve affordable, comfortable, autonomous, and sustainable energy systems.
Generation
Solar PV, wind, and other on-site energy generation systems sized for actual demand.
Management
Control systems that optimize energy flow between generation, storage, and consumption.
Storage
Battery and thermal storage systems that enable autonomy and grid independence.
Envelope
Building envelope efficiency that minimizes energy demand through passive design.
Water Innovation Model
Providing autonomous water supply by protecting natural aquifers — especially critical in arid and mountain regions.
Generation
Rainwater collection with smart catchment surfaces, water capture from air, mist, and fog, plus desalination where needed.
Consumption
Drinking, household, garden, and technical needs — applying water-saving approaches like waterless toilets and greywater recirculation (Hydraloop).
Storage & Treatment
Year-round storage in barrels, reservoirs, pools, and ponds. Treatment via UV, aeration, MBBR, filters — potentially combined with aquaponics.
