Qiuxian Container Mobile Housing

Qiuxian has relevant practices and applications in the field of container mobile housing, mainly reflected in the construction of urban waystations and the development of corporate businesses.

Low-carbon Concept Embodied in Urban Waystation Construction

• Low-carbon Design of the Building Itself: Qiuxian uses retired second-hand containers as the main structure of urban waystations, reducing the mining and production of raw materials for new buildings and avoiding the energy consumption in the recycling and disposal of old containers. Modular assembly is adopted, with most of the processing completed in the factory. The components are quickly hoisted and assembled on-site, shortening the construction period, reducing on-site construction waste, dust, and noise pollution, and minimizing interference with the surrounding environment. Moreover, the waystation structure is flexible and reversible. If the function of the site changes in the future, it can be completely hoisted and relocated to a new location for reuse, avoiding the waste of resources caused by the overall demolition due to the abandonment of building functions.
• Low-carbon Detail Design Inside the Space: Multiple windows and skylights are opened on the container body, and reasonable planning enables most of the daytime to be illuminated without artificial lighting. The positions of doors and windows are cleverly arranged to promote natural air convection indoors, reducing reliance on air conditioners and mechanical ventilation in spring and autumn. Thick environmentally friendly insulation layers, such as insulation boards made of recycled materials, are added inside to block the impact of drastic changes in outdoor temperature. All lighting uses low-power LED light sources, and human body induction switches are set up in some areas to avoid power waste when there is no one around. Many of the internal furniture and decorations are made of natural materials such as local bamboo, wood, and rattan, with short transportation distances and small carbon footprints. Some tables and chairs are reprocessed from recycled wood. The wall decorations avoid the use of complex chemical synthetic materials, pursuing a simple and environmentally friendly style.
• Function Settings to Guide Low-carbon Behavior: The waystation is equipped with shared service areas such as a shared book corner and a shared tool cabinet, encouraging "use" rather than "possession" and promoting the recycling of items.
