To optimize the air / interior comfort, it would be a cogeneration system / heat pump for air services and production ACS.

The upper awning top is equipped with two mini wind turbines and 28 square meters of solar panels, acts to ensure a good electrical self-sufficiency, both for the electric procurement services for a navigation using the electric motors.

The propulsion for navigation is hybrid electric / diesel engines.

The dimensions of the house boats are ml. 18,70 in length and ml. 6.00 wide.
