Japan's ShinNisseki builds potentially carbon-negative house for mass market



The Nikkei reports that Japan's ShinNisseki today finished building its first carbon-neutral, but potentially carbon-negative, house for the mass market today.

ShinNisseki, also known as ENEOS, details the calculation that makes the home carbon-neutral here and by increasing the efficiency of what they term "active usage of solar energy generation" (or defining it better so we have an idea of whether it is possible in the near-term or not), they could effectively have created the first carbon-negative home for the mass market home construction industry... Wow.
