Microclimate refers to the climatic conditions in a small, specific area, such as within a tiny house or modular home. These conditions can be influenced by factors such as ventilation, insulation and sunlight. A well-planned microclimate can significantly increase living comfort and reduce energy consumption.

Multifunctionality describes the ability of an object or space to fulfill multiple functions. This is particularly important in tiny houses and modular houses, as limited space often requires innovative solutions. Examples of this include furniture that serves as storage and sleeping space, or rooms that can be rearranged as needed.

Material efficiency refers to the optimal use of building materials to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. This includes choosing durable, reusable and recyclable materials. Material efficiency reduces the ecological footprint of a construction project. Tiny houses and modular houses benefit from careful material selection, which increases the sustainability and longevity of the construction. [...]
