Abstract
"This thesis deals with the implementation of Off-grid-water-systems to mobile Tiny Houses. It gives an introduction and overview on the whole Tiny-House-topic and its movement, specialized on tiny homes on wheels in Germany. Due to their mobility the autarchic energy and water supply comes into focus. It will be explained what it means to live off-grid, going into detail about water-recycling-systems and introducing examples for these systems. As conclusion the different water plants are compared and evaluated according to their adequacy for mobile Tiny Houses. After that the design part of the Tiny House comes into focus, where the water system(s) is supposed to be integrated. In the context of a case study analysis a Tiny House, a caravan and a prefabricated house are evaluated according to their functionality, colors and materials and their water supply system. At the end of this thesis the best solution for the Off-grid-water-system(s) and the mobile Tiny House will be combined. For that will be clarified how much water a person needs. The thesis will conclude with a design proposal implementing the knowledge that have been collected through the research conducted on the previous chapters. The design proposal is adjusted to the German law, since the regulations in Germany are more stringent than in many other countries."
