When designed and constructed properly, container houses can have lower environmental impact compared to traditional buildings. Leveraging their expertise in container solutions, Lida Group focuses on creating sustainable and eco-friendly container homes that minimize their impact on the environment.

Founded in 1993, Lida Group initially provided container solutions for logistics and industry. Seeing the potential of containers as affordable housing in 2010, the company shifted focus to designing and building living container structures.

Since then, Lida Group has constructed a wide range of single-family container houses, duplexes, and multi-story complexes across China and over 40 countries. Their expertise lies in transforming standard containers into stylish yet functional living spaces.

Lida Group places strong emphasis on incorporating eco-friendly principles, materials, and technologies into their designs and constructions. Several strategies contribute to their eco-friendly container houses:

• Reuse of Material – Shipping containers are fully reusable and recyclable, making them sustainable building blocks. Lida Group reduces waste by retrofitting existing containers instead of producing new materials.

• Lower Carbon Footprint – Due to less material usage, refined designs, and optimizations, Lida Group’s container houses have a 30-50% lower carbon footprint than traditional houses.

• Renewable Energy Integration – Lida Group incorporates features like solar panels, natural ventilation, and smart controls to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

• Water Conservation – Rainwater harvesting systems reduce demand for municipal water. Water efficient fixtures and appliances are also utilized.

• Minimal Construction Waste – By prefabricating modular units offsite, Lida Group produces less construction waste compared to conventional methods. Any waste is sorted for recycling.

• Eco-Friendly Materials – Where possible, Lida Group selects materials with minimal environmental impact for finishing and insulating containers. They promote recycled, recyclable and FSC-certified wood products.

• Biophilic Design – Lida Group incorporates nature and biophilic elements into designs to provide a healthier indoor environment that positively impacts occupants’ wellbeing.

• Smart Technologies – For some projects, Lida Group integrates smart systems to remotely monitor resource usage, identify inefficiencies, and optimize environmental performance over time.

These strategies have enabled Lida Group to construct some of the most sustainable container houses in the world. Their eco-friendly designs typically have 40-60% lower environmental impact compared to standard houses.

Lida Group hopes that through their eco-friendly container houses, they can demonstrate how affordable housing solutions can also minimize environmental footprint. Their goal is to promote wider adoption of sustainable principles in construction and raise industry standards.

With modular container structures serving as test beds, Lida Group aims to develop and commercialize technologies that can be scaled up for truly green constructions of the future.
