The first autonomous bio-ecological greenhouse in Belgium
The Kaseco greenhouse ...
• is autonomous and energy-friendly
• is bio-ecological
• lives up to the cradle-to-cradleprinciples of circular construction
The principles behind the autonomous bio-ecological greenhouse
Our greenhouse is unique in living an autonomous life. As such it completely fits into the rapidly growing off-grid lifestyle in which we choose to be self-sufficient and independent from suppliers or gas, water and electricity connections.
Bio-ecology
Building according to bio-ecological principles we aim to use as many natural and cultivable construction materials as possible. Those have the advantage that they have unlimited supply and that their extraction process is less or not harmful to the environment. By building bio-ecologically we ensure more harmony between human and environment: a healthy mind in a healthy body can thrive fully in healthy surroundings.
Circular construction
We build according to circular economy principles, also called circular economy. That means that we do not exhaust any or the least possible raw material supplies and so we have to think about the choice of materials for the greenhouse from the start of construction. In the world of design and construction the German chemist Michael Braungart and the American architect William McDonough translated this principle to the cradle-to-cradle philosophy in which they chose to use materials that could be used again in the future for other projects without quality loss.
IS THE PURCHASE OF A GREENHOUSE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE? ON THE CONTRARY ...
We made some calculations purely on the basis of the house itself (without the price of land). This way you can see that the greenhouse is barely more expensive than the classic compact house and that after a couple of years you have recuperated the additional charge. With the rising energy prices this recuperating effect is only accelerated. Even more so: it is the intention to create an energy surplus. Once in this situation we can reconnect to the network and offer this energy - preferably to the underprivileged or people who can use it best.
ISN’T THE GREENHOUSE TOO HOT IN SUMMER?
NOT WARMER THAN IN ANY OTHER HOUSE.
Yes, it will be hot in the greenhouse. But do not forget that we don’t live in the greenhouse, but in the house within the greenhouse - a remark we also make when being asked about the cold.
The greenhouse is ventilated by opening the ridges in combination with cooled air from Canadian wells under the ground. Like most people we stay outside in the shade or inside the house in the cooled space when it’s hot. The trick is to keep the doors and windows of the house closed so that the water pump can do its job. Furthermore we will sleep downstairs, in the rooms staying cool that way.
ISN’T THE GREENHOUSE TOO COLD IN WINTER? NOT AT ALL. REMEMBER: WE LIVE IN THE HOUSE, NOT IN THE GREENHOUSE.
Indeed, the greenhouse will mainly follow the outside temperature but, just like we emphasized when being asked about the heat: we live within the house, not within the greenhouse. The house itself is designed in such a way that it warms up very slowly and cools off very slowly. By the time the house is really cooled off, dawn breaks and we can enjoy the heat of the sun - even in winter.
What about hail or storm?
THE GLASS OF OUR GREENHOUSE HOUSE IS AS STRONG AS THE WINDSHIELD OF A CAR.
The roof is made of laminated glass. That is as strong as the windshield of a car. You have as much chance of breaking glass as you do with a car and it is very rare. The side walls are made of single glass, although the bottom two meters are tempered. The risks are no greater than breaking glass with your car or in your home.
Who does the window cleaning?
ONCE A YEAR, BY A SPECIALIZED COMPANY, WITH WATER
So many windows to patch, you might think. But don't compare the glass panes of the conservatory with, say, the window of your kitchen, which becomes damp or greasy with oils or grease. Of course, the glass walls gather dust and sometimes a leaf sticks to them or we are sometimes the target of a bird that gives everything free rein. Just like a car parked outside. That is why we have the conservatory and the glass thoroughly maintained once a year by a specialized company. Cleaning is done with water only.

What's your idea of rolling out the concept of "living in a greenhouse" on a larger scale, to make it available to more people? Would it benefit the inhabitants, society & not in the least, the environment?
I've dreamed of something like this for the past 26 years but just the green house with trees and plants with out the building in it. I especially liked your singing at the end!
Maybe a sectioned steel structure (like a barndominium) where you can replace sections with windows. Added thermal mass with stone/brick/stucco/water/plants plus some underground thermal to help regulate temps. Also, different methods to circulate air, etc. Have a lot of "interlocking" components so it would be easy to customize, etc.
I didn't know Gary Busey had a twin brother.
"Sustainable materials". ...CONCRETE basement...
Geodesic domes
The only thing missing now is an extension added for a hydroponic garden so you can grow fresh veg's year round! As a horticulturist Ithis is my dream house,but I could see it being built about twice as big around the house itself in order to accommodate a vast collection of plants and tropicals!
That is also possible. We had a client just before the pandemic who wanted to do this...
Actually, you can see that they are already growing vegetables year round using natural methods. I can clearly see artichoke plants, and he mentioned his wife's herb garden..
I have one and for years....easy to do.
Thanks
Agreed! Would love this type of house/greenhouse!
I love this. When I was a young kid, my Grandma in Tennessee had a greenhouse off of the kitchen. It was awesome! We would be eating and she would go pick a couple of tomatoes and cucumbers or whatever. We would have it with our meal. I still can't eat store bought tomatoes. A fresh homegrown, perfect red, tomato sandwich was my favorite. This is my ultimate goal for my own home. This one is beautiful! I know in winter it keeps the house warm and saves a lot on heating bills. My goal is between greenhouse and solar power! Becoming more self sufficient. This is awesome!
Cool 🤠
I have always wanted to live this way. I don’t understand why this isn’t the typical Canadian home, growing some of its own food year round. Or why we don’t have 4 or 6 houses with a shared greenhouse in the middle of them. Well done!
Glad you liked it 🙂
Mostly a cost issue. Construction, maintenance, and insurance. If money was no object, they would be more common.
Yeah, wouldn't it be amazing if houses and condos had courtyard greenhouses full of greenery and plants year-round!?! 😍
More important for people to have a 2400 square foot home instead of a 1000 square foot home + a greenhouse on top of it.
Really, really expensive to heat. Ask any greenhouse farmer.
omg to be rich!! Dreams coming true likt this!
I love your house/greenhouse . My husband and I had this idea over 50 years ago . It was just never possible to do for cost and there were no materials like there is today . We thought it maybe was a silly idea building a house inside a greenhouse then , but you did it and it looks wonderful.
Back in the late 70's they were called - envelope houses. The cost was ridiculous. My hubby and I wanted one also. Oh, the dreams we had.
@@thecrone7964 You guys seem to know about this "envelope house" idea. So, do you also know if mold is an issue from the humidity created? Thanks!
@@tmckmusic8584 - I am not up on the current tech being used - a lot has changed since the 70's/80's - but back in the day, multi pane windows were not commonly available, and there was a certain amount of circulating fans that you needed to make sure you employed insured proper circulation. The homeowner was also tasked with maintaining proper balance similar to the way you need to keep "earth ship" houses balanced to match external environment changes and maintenance upkeep. I don't know if any of this was helpful but I imagine the reality of owning this kind of house - which if I was younger and could afford, I would still be interested, - is still a labor of love but much improved. Perhaps all the "smart home" technology would make all the difference. Homes of the future really need to consider the environmental effects - not just in trying to lessen environmental impact - but coping with the obvious changes in weather we can no longer deny.
Ditto REALLY expensive idea & despite great fun for family a huge net negative environmentally with the cast amount of energy needed to build the greenhouse
To build it less expensively you can build a house with a greenhouse attached to the south side. It's not necessary to surround the whole house so long as you heavily insulate the roof and north side. In my opinion, having glass on the north side of the greenhouse is a waste. To really maximize winter heating, the north side could be insulated, reducing the heat loss significantly. You don't need a massive budget to pull this off. You can use the same principles to get a similar result for a lot less cost.
That is what I need to do so that I can insulate myself from my noisy neighbors and still enjoy my backyard.
Indeed that's one of the advantages 😀
and their cigarette smoke too
I live in Karachi Pakistan I like your comments if you don't mind
@@raziarahmat4299 I don't mind at all, on the contrary🙂 you're very welcome on my channel
So funny! But it’s a great idea, lol.
This is literally my dream house that I didn’t even know existed! This guy needs to start building houses like this for families. Imagine the impact. He could make such a huge difference in the 🌎. Now my question is; how much does all this cost? Looks super expensive
The amount money it would cost to build this in the states would be significant. It would probably be more than most could ever afford. Not to mention, the upkeep and maintenance costs on all of the individual systems that make this building work. There is a the water purification system with pumps, solenoids, valves, filters, ultraviolet bacteria killers, etc. There is a power battery large enough to run the entire building, with inverters, battery monitors, power distribution, generator backup and charging, etc. There is an extremely high tech waste water system there. All of those systems have to either be monitored and checked daily by a specialist or you. Most residential homes are made to have little maintenance. This home requires lots of maintenance. I'm not saying that no one can do this, just that very few could without a lot of money.
It doesn't matter what he spent. What matters is you can do this with recycled and natural materials.
@@CynthiaWithLove I can’t even remember what this video was about 😂 I was like, “my old ass can’t remember sh*t” I can’t even remember what I ate last week let alone a comment I made on a video 2 years ago, so I can’t comment back 😂 but anyways I hope you have a nice day ❤️

I like. Since there’s a green house, I would definitely want a mango, orange, grapefruit, lemon, and lime tree, as well as a spot for a small vegetable garden.
We have a mango, banana, etcetera...
@@koenvandewalle7248 Amazing, watching from East Africa 🌍🌿💚 thank you for sharing 😊
Haha same..
@@koenvandewalle7248 Winter nights won't kill them ? Since the greenhouse part cools down to outside temp
@@sandormarton9723 Only in the winter months do we need to cover certain plants with straw.
If it reduces bugs annoying bugs like flies and mosquitoes, I'd never leave my home/yard.
Ha, I never thought about pollination, but for a small plot, you could do that by hand.
@Will Smith depends on the climate but also on how good the ventilation is. Also they have some part of the living space built a good deal underground and that part would be nice and cool. We get days up in the 90s here in summer but my greenhouse when I open the ventilation will stay around the same temperature as the outdoors. I have shade cloth that can be brought up which can help to lessen the heat also. Add a fan or two to keep the air moving (preferably where you drawing in is under some shade) and it can be cooler than outdoors. I love my greenhouse and use it almost all year around and I would love to have a huge one with my home inside it so this is something I look into often.
@@WildnUnruly all life is scared. Except mosquitoes, aphids, and spider mites!
As someone who works with Schueco products alu glass projects, i can tell that pure alu glass winter garden type of constructions are insanely expensive. It's a high end product.
They can afford it as they get deep discounts and run their business out of it. Had to have cost 800-900k€, though…
What would be the alternative to alu glass, any idea?
Nice solution for this family. Evidently he has the resources to build that alternative home. It would have been interesting to learn how he keeps all those glass panels clean and how resistant they are to impact.
I wondered about that also. With the increase in hail damage here in Canada, that is a concern.
Imagine sitting outside your home (but inside a greenhouse) in the evening when there's a rolling thunder and light show to watch. Can't think of anything finer...
Do you deal with excessive humidity? Is there ever a mildew/mold problem? Do you have excess power that you sell back to the power company?
Really good questions, I would like to know as well :)
watch the video again, In basement the block are wet. This is not the place to use wood framing in. Most green houses have large fans on the ends to pull out moist air and control the humidity. This would be like building a house is the middle of the woods they all get mold and have problems.
two things, how much was the build? (sorry:-) second: have you got mold and mildew issues? i've lived in 2 buildings semi underground pretty much as deep as yours and we've had massive issues with excess moisture from the ground pushing trough. also the need of pretty much constant ventilation which gets difficult in winter. looking to buy land and build and greenhouses have allways caught my eye. but concerned about the formentioned issues. thank you
I would guess the heat pump system doubles as the environmental control. Especially in the basement. Most central systems have to turn the air over in closed spaces fairly fast. Moisture mitigation wouldn’t be difficult to add to the system.
@@Oohaile thanks for your reply, cost will be high where i live.. but would be well worth it. still will have to research the moisture problems thanks again
An excellent concept. A client of mine wanted to build a restaurant in the middle of a greenhouse. I can direct him to this video.
sure, send it to him
This would be wonderful in the northern areas of the world
Yeah in Spain your house would burst into flames in this it would be so hot
I really admire these kinds of people doing and thinking outside the box. Trying to build something like that in the UK would be a nightmare of red tape and opposition from the local authority.
My US town’s zoning board would never allow something this sensible.
@@strawberryshortcake4342 You never know until you try.
@@strawberryshortcake4342 ... And that's pretty sad, isn't it Strawberry 🍓 Shortcake 🍰? Sure we have to address weather issues such as big winds and heavy rains, but if you use the right materials, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I especially liked how he used the various materials to clean the water. He was very thorough in all the different things he thought about. I like this as my dream home as well, like other people who have mentioned it being THEIR dream home. I also appreciate the idea of having a skylight in the rooms above, though that may lend heat to the house that is not wanted, especially in summer, but it's nothing a roll of tarp wouldn't help to prevent.
He's "thinking outside the box", FROM INSIDE A BOX.

You could have a Mediterranean climate, practically year round!
Pretty cheap housing?
John Conley I'd say the budget was pretty big for this.
@@johnconley3473 Cheap utilities because of underground part.
Wow, I wish I was rich and could do this. I guess I'll start playing power ball.
I had this idea as well, I’m just glad to see that someone was able to actually make it happen. If the world had more homes like this, the Earth could begin to heal. Great job!
All that concrete, steel and glass isn't very envionmentally friendly.
@@davidwebb2318 what do you suggest would be better?
@@tracyg9721 building out of local stone instead of concrete and using rammed earth or cob would be better.
@@davidwebb2318and use plastic from the ocean instead of glass 😊
Loved the end when he said just research materials and don't blindly use what everyone is currently using. Building materials these days have the illusion of being "better" but in five or ten years if you don't perform a lot of maintenance, they start to fail. Natural homes stand hundreds, even thousands of years. And the ecological impact, and indoor air quality, all those things have me believing in sustainable rather than conventional methods.

The thought of living like this have hit me before so its really cool to see people that have actually gone through with it.
indeed 😀
Beautiful brains making beautiful homes!
We agree!
This is fabulous and would benefit people with illnesses that are affected by temperature, I would love to have that sort of temperature all year round as well as being more ecological. Awesome idea and beautiful design 😊👏🏻
I am certain his being an architect aided his getting the permitting, but still that would explain why 2 roofs had to be built as a fail safe against failure of any of the greenhouse window paines. I really love his set up for his water.
Seems like it would be very close to a dust free environment with a consideration for health
Nice concept. How in the world does he keep those solar panels clean - they are so high up there. Made me dizzy seeing how tall they are. Also - looks like a lot of buckaroonies went into that home setting. But I love the concept of the house being protected inside of a glass structure - like a gigantic solar room. WOW.
I love the whole eco-friendlier concept, but was wondering if they have any issues with birds perching on the roof. Certainly it would be perfect for keeping birds off the fruit trees, much more efficient than netting.
@@FurnitureFan Agree. I really liked the concept too, if I had bazillions of $$, I'd go for it. How nice to sit outside on a cold but sunny day!
@@kefirheals7383 Yes, it's the custom build that adds to the cost, plus the land. He obviously took extra courses to do it properly. I really admire their initiatives - once people can see what's possible, it's going to be more popular to build attractive designs.
It looks like the panels are inside the green house
Wow wow wow!!!!!!! Thanks 🙏
You are so welcome
Such house is my dream ❤️ Greenhouse with lots of light and plants and very efficient. Hope it's the future. What about hail? Glass is fragile.
There's some faq's in the description below the vid
I've thought of doing something like this for a couple years. My twist on it would be to have a small 2-bedroom cottage and a couple of tiny homes all under the greenhouse. Good for a family with adult children or an in-law living situation. Main house can have a roof deck with outdoor living/sleeping area.
I would build inside a very large geodesic dome if I could do this.
@@beer1for2break3fast4 That would involve a lot of glass cutting at angles. Not as easy - nor as energy efficient: when oriented with the path of the sun, a house shape with a peaked roof will give more sunlight gain in terms of heat and electricity (on the solar panels). Also, it is much easier to recapture the water from a peaked-style roof. If it were in a hurricane zone or tornado alley, the geodesic dome would probably be much safer.
It’s a beautiful dream 😴
@@doloresreynolds8145 Probably so. It's just a dream as I will never be able to actually do it anyway unless I win a lotto lol.

thank you so much for showing this beautiful way of living climate friendly for our future generations on our planet earth
self-sustainability at its finest.
indeed 🏡
I really like the idea of living green and in a sustainable way. And I think the concept of a house in its own micro climate without any need for heating is amazing. But I wouldn’t consider this house more sustainable then others when it comes to materials. Look at the huge amount of glass, steel and concrete which was used here. I don’t except them to only have a ‚small impact‘ on the climate.
The Climate is fine. You have 0 impact on it. We have 0 impact on it.
The ones I've seen are built onto one side of the house. The doors between the two spaces can be opened in cold weather and closed off, with light-proof materials, in hot weather. Best of all, it can be done with an existing house. That reduces the footprint. The solar and water systems can be added and customized.
With all that area of glass letting solar heat in, it would need an efficient ventilation system. A good ventilation system would take care of excess humidity as well as excess heat. Since the whole structure is so energy efficient, running dehumidifiers would not be very expensive. With all those plants I imagine that the air quality inside would be way above average.
That is called an atrium
Yes, adding a greenhouse to the south side of a house would be a more affordable way to do this and would be more efficient in my opinion. Having glass on the north side just lets the heat out. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but not as functional.
@@cupbowlspoonforkknif having a closed in space on the north would not generate much solar heat, but it would act as insulation, making it easier to keep an even temperature in the living space.
Heat pump. And other ways to change heat to cooling via underground pipes.
Love the house in a greenhouse idea, something I always imagined.
An awful lot of steel. Nice idea. Masses of energy for steel and glass.
Wow, that's nice that it's warm inside the greenhouse in the winter. What a luxury!
I’ve seen several of those buildings, especially in Sweden and Germany . It’s a dream The house inside the greenhouse does not need much insulation and with the flat roof you have a nice terrace.
@high as f If you grow cannabis in the greenhouse - the lively odor from the blooms will cancel the greenhouse gases and magical transform them into a medicine for all the problems that occur infuse that home and heal all ailments.
Good for cold climate areas.

Absolutely incredible! I would love to have a home like this. If I only had a extra $1,000.000 to have one built.
Love the concept. I have said for years if I ever won the lottery I would have a house built along the same lines.
I wish it for you
I wish this was an option for us in Oklahoma. Our hail storms that we get here would cause too much damage, too often. We struggle with insects so badly in the spring and summer, though, that it would be a great sheltered area without allergens or pests. . . Wonderful video, Koen! So inspiring!
We're in Arkansas. I thought the same thing (tornadoes and hail). I wonder if something could be done with shutters for the entire structure (like a rolling garage door concept). It could be connected to a weather app and automatically close when storm warnings are issued. Idk, just trying to figure out how I can have a greenhouse home......
You can build a metallic mesh structure over it to get protection from the hail storms without loosing any sunlight. For the tornados I got no solution to offer you, except a lot of prayers and good luck.

And they say " Money can't buy happiness "
I suppose "it kinda can, it kinda can't" would have been more appropriate.
I've been there on a hot day (33°C), and because of the greenhouse climate controls and open doors contributing to the chimney effect, all was fine. Same temp in as out, but due to the solar panels and air movement it felt even a little colder than outside in the sun. It was built by Deforche Construct that has more greenhouse projects like these (just look them up) and in the design phase they were considering putting greenhouse type rolling shading screens in. Which would create a very comfortable climate in the summer and adding to insolation in winter. Endless possibilities!

THis is my Dream house!!!
That was the dream house I wanted to build and live in!
This is a great idea, but that greenhouse looks expensive. Most people don’t have that kind of money. It would be a lot more practical if a cheap source of glass could be found. Back in the early 1900’s millions of glass photographic plates were thrown away, and people used them to build greenhouses. So you got a building that looked like a family album. Whenever a commercial building is demolished nowadays, there’s a lot of plate glass, but I don’t know if any effort is made to save it.
It smells like the leftist version of the prepper bunker. I'm pretty sure the water system costs far more than buying utility water.

This should be a blueprint for future communities, its so sustainable and environmentally friendly although very costly for poorer countries.
If you apply an upscaling, the cost price drops very quickly...
omg so so so so so want this in my life please. this is Heaven for a Home

OMG!…Ingenious! Great concept manifested in action!😍😍😍
cool
This is Solarpunk right here. A house in a greenhouse with solar panels. This is already paradise. This is the right direction people should invest in instead of mindless unsustainable, inefficient concrete homes with "empty" grass yards.
I feel stupid watering the grass I’m trying to grow for aesthetic purposes.
You really don't understand what you are talking about. I suggest you read the book or watch the documentary "Bright Green Lies" these INDUSTRIAL fake "green" technologies are just as damaging (sometimes more so) than traditional methods.
I watched this straight after watching those guys in Canada who built their own cob house for around $1000, and wonder which is the more ecological... and which will be more prophetic.
Literally my dream home

It seems to me that if you were doing this to be environmental frugal you would buy and old house with perhaps a bad roof and insufficient insultion and surround it with a greenhouse. That way you would recycle all the materials in the old house and still have all the plusses you were talking about. I love this idea, mostly because a lot or areas that are good countries and where the land is less expensive are very cold, and if you can convert that space into something warm and cozy, it's a win-win.
good point
