Iglou
The insulated shelter.
The Iglou assembles and folds in seconds. It is easily stored: We put 5 per pallet. Its thermal insulation retains human warmth. We gain 20 ° C on average for a couple, 15 ° C for a single person (depending on the metabolism of the person). The inside of the Iglou is fireproof: no risk of fire or burn if thrown to the ground or stove reversed. Iglous fit well into the urban landscape. Users will be able to benefit from the same services as other residents. We increase the capacity while keeping the human. Squats in vacant buildings are rarely heated, Iglous protect the inhabitants during periods of extreme cold.
