Self-sustaining homes, also known as autonomous buildings, are designed to operate independently from external infrastructure like power grids, water systems, and communication networks through on-site renewable energy generation, water collection, waste treatment, and more. The inventor of these self-sufficient homes was Luis Echeberria Álvarez in 1974. Some benefits include reduced environmental impacts, increased security, and lower long-term costs.
