다목적으로 활용가능한 프로토타입 유닛을 소개합니다.
모바일 유닛의 가장 큰 장점은 지속가능한 에너지 자급 자족 시스템으로
다양한 공간에 독립적인 운영이 가능하다는 점입니다.
운반용 컨테이너를 재활용한 유닛은 상부에 설치된 캐노피-20여개의
태양전지판을 부착하여 에너지를 생산합니다.-를 통하여
독립적으로 플렉시블하게 사용가능합니다. 그것의 활용은 응급복구를 위해 설치하는
응급센터나 응급구조 사무실 또는 주차관리 스테이션 등의 다양한 모바일
오피스 및 하우스로 활용 할 수 있습니다.

houston-based practice metalab in collaboration with the university of houston has designed and begun manufacture of 'SPACE', a prototypical off-grid field office for the company adaptive container. an acronym for 'solar powered adaptive containers for everyone', the unit is a reused shipping container with a fold out solar rack system with 20 panels on the roof. supporting rapid deployment, the 20 panels may be folded inward for efficient delivery allowing the flexible space to serve as a self-sustained first response center, emergency relief office, remote check point, park rangers station, etc. the mobile and secure structure may host day-to-day work environments with climate-controlled interiors which doubles as a protective shelter during severe weather events.
a beta unit was produced to test its independent production capabilities, proving its ability to serve as a generator for aid stations during a power loss situation caused by a gulf coast hurricane. the containers are prefabricated within a nearby facility, campo sheet metal, and then delivered to their site.
container size: 28’ l x 8’ w x 11’-6” h (outside dimensions with PV rack folded in)
interior space: 140 sq ft. with 8’ ceilings
weight: 13,000 lbs.
power consumption: 1500 w (with a/c, lighting and power outlets in full operation) = 5 kwh/day or 156 kwh/month
solar power production: 2700 w (full sun) = 11.65 kwh/day or 350 kwh/month
battery backup capacity: 3-4 days
