Factor 10 House Chicago<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Factor 10 House, designed in 2003, gets its name from its philosophy. The designer, Marc L’Italien, claims that the structure consumes one-tenth of the environmental resources. In other words, it minimises the ecological footprint by a \u201cfactor of 10.\u201d<\/p>\n

The designer had the following initial goals in mind:
\n–\tThe occupant\u2019s health
\n–\tEfficiency of the energy
\n–\tEfficiency of the resources
\n–\tEnvironmental responsibility
\n–\tAffordability<\/p>\n

Primary four features include:<\/p>\n

–\tSize reduction
\n–\tImproved efficiency
\n–\tExtended life span
\n–\tImpact reduction
\nUsing these four strategies, the F10 house is a long awaited solution to the issue of buildings. They consume 42% of all energy, 30% of all raw materials and create 40% of all air pollution. Factor 10 house not only reduces the environmental impact but also decrease living expenses.<\/p>\n

F10 House demonstrates to the general public that sustainable design doesn’t have to look any different than traditional housing. It also motivates surrounding neighbourhood citizens to make improvements to their own homes.
