The main living room is dominated by one of Panasonic's 103in plasma screens, which is integrated into the wall. From here residents can control all the features of the EU house. Obviously you can watch TV, but the screen is also connected to the Internet and the telecommunications network, allowing you to check email or even make video calls.

The huge screen also gives you access to all the security systems, so you can view all the security cameras from around the house - you can check to see who's at the front door and decide whether to let them in or not without having to leave the comfort of your sofa. Environmentally friendly this house may be, but it hardly encourages an active lifestyle!

Of course there's a home office room as well. Here you can login to your office VPN and have all those important meetings without ever leaving the house. Obviously security is an important factor with this kind thing, so the EU house home office system requires a smartcard and facial recognition before access in granted.

Once successfully logged in you can happily instigate and participate in video conference meetings with your colleagues either in the office or also working remotely. One shouldn't underestimate that the ability to efficiently work from home is also a help to the environment, since it potentially saves on masses of commute related pollution and energy expenditure.
