TECHNOLOGY
Innovations in solar energy and energystorage have made offgrid housing more a reality.
Innovations in cooling and heating require less energy than many years ago.
Offgrid sewage, and ground screws make the placement of houses easy.
Innovations in water recycling recycle the waterusage in the house.
In the Netherlands there are 93 affordable house builders, who can build and place a house for an affordable price.
Natural building materials also enhance the comfortable conditions of offgrid housing.
LOCATIONS
Small house manufacturers don't have the resources to compete with the large manufacturers. But they are flexible and fast.
These houses are being placed on location, so not build.
There are many locations, especially in the rural areas installing conventional infrastructure for water, electrity/gas, sewage and phone is expensive.
This infrastructure is already part of the offgrid house, and the more houses are placed the more technology can be shared.
FINANCING
The Dutch government stimulates Living Coops and provides a grant for planning and financing.
