  • the photovoltaic plastic sheets or panels 144 also may serve as a cover against rain, and as a semi-private, intermediate space between two shelter modules facing each other (see Fig. 9). In this space, school can be held, community meetings find a protected space and supplies for first aid shelters can be stored.
  • the radiation exposure of the shelter walls to the cardinal directions of the sun causes the photo voltaic panels 144 to be only oriented as a horizontal roof surface facing the zenith.
  • the canopy structures are oriented independently of the orientation of the individual articulated shelters.
  • the maintenance-free clean energy of each photovoltaic panel 144 is delivered as Direct Current power (DC). It is assumed that the dwellers in the shelter units 100 use electricity for cooking for a period of 2 hours/day.
  • An electrical storage device or storage battery 146, such as a car battery, of 13.5 kWh is therefore necessary, especially for overcast and night time conditions. The following calculation determines the optimum number of square meter PV cells that are needed for a shelter at a given global radiation level:

  • the above integrated shelter 100 provides transportable, convenient, safe and durable temporary housing to people that are stranded and homeless due to natural disasters and other disasters. As a result, the devastating effects of such disasters on those people are lessened as they try to rebuild their lives.
