Self-Sufficient Modular Buildings for Student Housing in Sweden: Solutions for a Compact, Mobile Off-grid House

Abstract [en]

Lack of student housing in Sweden has been a prevalent issue for a long time. The simple solution is to construct more accomodations, this is, however, limited by the municipality's budget, space and the availability of preexisting infrastructure for electricity, heating, water etc. The building must be entirely self-sufficient in order to function outside of the city's grid. The aim of this thesis is to showcase the various self-sufficent solutions that are available today and how it could be implemented onto a mobile, off-grid modular student house. The student house designed in this thesis uses natural resources to produce energy, heating and water without any connection to the city's electricity grid or water network. With good weather and environmental conditions, the house could theoretically run on its own, however, due to the limitations of it being compact and mobile, it requires a lot of manual work from the occupants and its efficiency may vary thoughout the year.
