article_snippet.sent: Panels, some of steel, and some of glass, make up the structure of a prototype house and a sheet of water is trapped between the inner layers, which equalizes the temperature across the building.
article_snippet.sent: a prototype house is actually able to reheat a prototype house, when a prototype house hot excess heat is stored either in the foundations of the building or in external storage, to be brought back to the walls when the temperature drops.
article_snippet.sent: This is a very efficient and sustainable system: a prototype house can produce a prototype house own energy and be more independent of energy suppliers, which could reduce carbon emissions.
article_snippet.sent: Our panel can heat and cool the building -- the water inside Our panel does the very same job as heating," says Matyas Gutai.
article_snippet.sent: Constructing houses in this way is moderately more expensive than traditional designs, but this prototype aims to slash our energy needs and Gutai is working with factories and companies across Europe on projects using this technology.
