CScout: Housing company Tostem has developed a new kind of ecological residence that takes in more carbon emissions than it produces itself. The Super-sustainable Model House Next+ Nagaiki Style is set for commercialization in 2011 and features a photovoltaic system, a solar heat pump for water heating, and LED and OLED lighting. In particular, new technology for the home includes a timer to charge up an electric vehicle at night and a fractal sunshade, which is used on the terrace, though some details have not been announced.
