LOHAS stands for Life Style of Health and Sustainability and researchers have been working to develop LOHAS houses to tackle climate change. In Koriyama city in Japan, a team from Nihon University has created comfy and eco-friendly houses to withstand hot summer and cold winter. They use solar power and geothermal heat for energy source and recycle rain for all water needs around the house. Their ultimate aim is to supply the household energy and water needs self-sufficiently.
