Dvele uses high tech systems to prefabricate panels made of light-gauge, steel. This not only reduces the risk associated with lumber supply chain issues, but also allows for precise manufacturing using very little waste. Steel is very resistant to fire and can be used quickly without causing any site damage.
Dvele homes are designed to be energy efficient and have triple-pane windows, doors, lighting, and electronics. A battery storage system is also included in each home, which provides backup power in case of a power cut or fire. It is possible to make homes completely off-grid.
Clean air delivery system monitors air quality and makes adjustments to provide fresh, filtered air throughout a house. This helps to improve the health of the inhabitants. The smart system filters contaminants as they enter the house and as they are created by activities like cooking.
Dvele is also developing systems that reduce dependence on natural gas.
