2. The average maintenance and service cost for a typical house is $2,800-4,200 per year. haus.me requires minimal maintenance — just air and water filter replacement and minimal special services, because it has a self-diagnostic system, connected through the internet to 24/7 cloud service.
3. haus.me delivered arrives fully assembled and equipped. In most cases, onsite preparations nor a basement are required. This means a lot of savings, for sure.

You also will save time:

1. When ordering haus.me from our stock, we deliver and install it on your property the next day. Imagine the saved months –even years — when comparing this turnaround to designing, permitting, constructing and equipping a regular house!

It’s not magic — it’s technology! haus.me is designed for high energy efficiency and low energy consumption. Roof integrated solar panels can generate 7kWh per hour nominal power. Since the average energy consumption for heating mOne when outside temperature is 0’F is 0.86kWh per hour, you’ll have plenty of power. Energy is also stored in a back-up battery, which can power your house for more than one week.

Yes! While cloudy or snowy conditions can decrease solar panel generation 20-30% of nominal power, your solar panels are still generating enough energy to run your house for several days.

Batteries in haus.me are constantly recharging, and two factors affect battery operation time:

1. Outside temperature. A fully-charged 16kWh battery is enough to power your haus.me house for 4 cloudy days at 32’F or for more than one week of cloudy days at 49’F.
2. Amount of consumption. If all of your appliances and systems run simultaneously, you will drain your battery in one day. Or you can be economical, and use your energy efficiently.

Autonomous haus.me has three type of tanks: clear water, grey water, and black water. When the clear water tank is filled from any water source (a well, lake, stream, river, tap or special air-to-water generator), the purification system will render the water potable, 99.9% virus and bacteria free.

Standard haus.me is connected to well or city water. House built-in water quality control system purifies the water to the potable quality.

Autonomous haus.me has an integrated black water tank with bioactive sewage purification system. Black water tank must be emptied from time to time.

Standard haus.me sewage is managed through the city sewage system.

haus.me continuously purifies, recirculates and comfort-corrects your shower water to the ideal temperature and pressure. How does it work?

– smart sensors analyze water 20 times per second, disposing of dirty water
– unwanted particles are removed
– cleaned water is recirculated back up to the showerhead

It is an innovative way to save water and energy for immediate impact without compromising the shower experience. In fact, it might be your best shower yet!
