In October 2018, the world received a dire warning: In just 12 years, without a drastic reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions, global warming will reach an unsustainable level. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report (PDF), global energy production from renewable sources needs to jump to 50%–60% to avoid rising sea levels, floods, droughts, and famine.

The design maximizes solar-energy production while minimizing heat loss or gain through the exterior walls. The roof is covered with solar panels. In a typical European climate, Solace House expects the solar installation to produce 6,500 kWh per year—inhabitants are expected to use around 6,000 kWh, a net gain of 500.I seek strength to carry on.

A Solace House is small indeed—just 35 square meters (377 square feet) with a total living space of 45 square meters (385 square feet), thanks to a loft. Home sizes vary widely in Europe and North America; according to the UK’s Office of National Statistics, the average size of homes sold was 63 square meters (678 square feet) in Eastern European countries such as Lithuania and Latvia, 90 square meters (969 square feet) in the UK, 106 square meters (1,141 square feet) in Portugal, and a whopping 245 square meters (2,637 square feet) in the United States. We believe that suicide is preventable and strive to make our services easily accessible and barrier-free. We seek to break down the stigma of mental health and suicide by creating an environment where people are comfortable seeking help for themselves, talking about their thoughts and feelings, and supporting and seeking help for suicidal loved ones. I am so grateful for the generosity, courage and vision of the Pieta Board who allowed me to work in America to identify and meet the need for ‘Helping The Irish Wherever They Are,’” said Senator Freeman. At Solace House, we make it our mission to provide free, accessible, professional counseling and support services to anyone in emotional crisis.

Solace House strives to provide cheap, high-quality homes that are emission free, carbon neutral, and energy positive. The three-year-old company unveiled its first product—a complete home in Warsaw, Poland—in September. Instead, Solace is constructed of MFP Living Boards, a type of water-resistant chipboard (unlike regular chipboard, this one doesn’t emit formaldehyde), supplied by Pfleiderer. The second element of the building’s construction is nontoxic polyurethane foam from Lallafom USA to provide maximum insulation without harmful compounds. Two walls and the roof of the building are covered with Blachprofil 2, a modular steel sheeting that’s highly recyclable. The other exterior walls are sheathed with Siberian larch, harvested responsibly by Polish wood supplier DLH. Reaching that level of renewable energy is an immense task. Almost half of the energy generated in the European Union (EU) comes from fossil fuels; in the United States, that number is 63%. In the EU, general household usage accounts for a 25.4% of all energy use, with 64.7% of that used for heating homes. In the United States, the average annual electricity consumption for a residential utility customer is 10,766 kilowatt hours (kWh).
