Portugal aimed for the sky with their modular Casas Em Movimento house at the 2012 Solar Decathlon Europe. It's designed to follow the sun's east-west journey throughout the day in order to increase energy production, reduce heat consumption and adjust interior daylighting, and it has a protective photovoltaic skin that also generates a ton of energy. In fact, CEM+NEM- believes their house can generate as much as 12.220kWh of energy each year - which is 2.5 times more than it consumes.
