Sustainable Buildings
At ZOE: Abundant Living Org.,
we believe in the power of partnerships and systems thinking to create sustainable buildings that feed, house, and protect vulnerable people around the world.
Lower Cost means Self Sustainable
We are committed to promoting sustainable living by providing energy-independent housing. We use innovative technology to create homes that generate their own energy, and so reduce energy bills. In poor areas they don’t care about minimizing the carbon footprint, when they are focused on just survival. Our energy-independent buildings feature solar panels, wind turbines, and rainwater purfication that provide power and clean water to the entire household. Compared to other housing methods, this is practically free!
DC: Way to be !
We install energy-efficient DC appliances, fans or heaters and light fixtures to reduce energy consumption. They can charge mobile phones or electronics without converting to AC first, which is 90% wasteful. These homes are designed to be comfortable, safe, and environmentally friendly and free.
Our sustainable housing projects provide for local communities, empower women and children, and provide affordable housing for orphans. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a home that is not only safe and comfortable but also sustainable and eco-friendly.
Join us in our mission to create a sustainable future for generations to come. Contact ZOE today to learn more about our energy-independent buildings.
