3. Defining Smart Design in Lida Group’s Prefab Mobile House Systems
3.1 Pillar 1: Modularity & Standardization
Standardized Core Components: Lida Group’s prefab mobile houses are built from a set of standardized modules, including wall panels, floor systems, roof assemblies, and amenity units (such as bathrooms and kitchens). These modules are produced in factories using automated processes, ensuring precision and reducing material waste to less than 5% (compared to 15–20% in traditional construction). For example, the company’s bathroom modules are identical across all product lines—allowing for bulk production and a 25% reduction in per-unit costs.
Plug-and-Play Assembly: Modules are designed to connect seamlessly using simple, tool-free fastening systems. A 40-square-meter mobile house can be assembled by two workers in just 36 hours—60% faster than traditional temporary structures. This speed not only reduces labor costs but also enables rapid deployment in urgent scenarios, such as disaster relief.
Scalability: Modularity allows for easy scaling of spaces. A single 20-square-meter “base unit” can be combined with additional modules to create larger structures—such as a 100-square-meter office complex or a 200-square-meter worker dormitory. This scalability means customers only pay for the space they need, while retaining the flexibility to expand later.
3.2 Pillar 2: Adaptability & Reconfigurability
Reconfigurable Interiors: Interior layouts are designed to be easily modified without structural changes. For example, a Worker Accommodation unit with four private bedrooms can be reconfigured into two larger bedrooms with a shared living area by removing modular partition walls. This flexibility means the same unit can be used for construction workers one year and remote research teams the next.
Multi-Functional Modules: Amenity modules are designed to serve multiple purposes. A kitchen module, for instance, can be reconfigured into a first-aid station by replacing cabinetry with medical storage and adding a sink with sterile water access. A living area module can be converted into a classroom by installing whiteboards and modular seating.
Cross-Industry Versatility: Lida Group’s modules are compatible across product lines, enabling cross-industry reuse. A bathroom module from an Emergency Shelter unit can be integrated into a Remote Living unit, and a wall panel from a construction office can be repurposed for an event pop-up. This versatility reduces waste and extends the lifespan of components—lowering long-term costs for customers.
3.3 Pillar 3: Smart Technology Integration
IoT-Enabled Monitoring Systems: Many of Lida Group’s prefab mobile houses are equipped with low-cost IoT sensors that track key metrics such as temperature, humidity, energy use, and occupancy. These sensors connect to a user-friendly mobile app, allowing customers to monitor and optimize their units remotely. For example, a construction company can use the app to adjust HVAC settings in on-site offices when they are unoccupied—reducing energy costs by up to 30%.
Solar-Powered Energy Systems: To address the need for off-grid functionality (critical for disaster zones and remote work sites), Lida Group integrates lightweight, high-efficiency solar panels (200–300 watts) and lithium-ion battery storage into its units. These systems power lighting, small appliances, and even HVAC systems (for short periods) —eliminating reliance on diesel generators. A Remote Living unit with a solar system can meet 70% of its daily energy needs, cutting carbon emissions by 1,500 kg per year.
Smart Lighting and Climate Control: Units feature LED lighting with motion sensors (to reduce energy use in unoccupied rooms) and smart thermostats that learn user preferences. For example, the thermostats in Worker Accommodation units can automatically lower the temperature during work hours (when units are empty) and raise it before workers return—saving energy without sacrificing comfort.
Digital Documentation and Maintenance: Lida Group provides customers with a digital “unit passport”—a cloud-based document that tracks the unit’s history, maintenance schedules, and component specifications. The passport sends automated alerts for routine maintenance (such as filter replacements) and enables quick identification of replacement parts—reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
3.4 Pillar 4: Sustainable Engineering for Long-Term Resilience
Recycled and Renewable Materials: Lida Group uses 70% recycled materials in its structural components, including recycled steel for wall panels (which reduces carbon emissions by 40% compared to virgin steel) and recycled plastic for interior fixtures. For insulation, the company uses either recycled rock wool (derived from industrial slag) or hemp fiber (a 100% renewable resource)—both of which offer superior thermal performance at a lower cost than synthetic insulation.
Energy Efficiency by Design: Beyond tech integration, Lida Group’s units are engineered for passive energy efficiency. Wall panels have a high R-value (R-25 for standard units, R-30 for cold-climate models) to reduce heat transfer, and windows are double-glazed with low-emissivity (low-E) coatings to minimize energy loss. These design features reduce energy consumption by 25–35% compared to conventional temporary housing.
Water Conservation: Units are equipped with low-flow toilets (4.8 liters per flush) and showerheads (6 liters per minute), cutting water use by 50%. For long-term projects, Lida Group offers optional graywater recycling systems that collect and filter water from sinks and showers for reuse in irrigation or cleaning—saving an additional 300 liters of water per week per unit.
End-of-Life Recyclability: Almost 95% of Lida Group’s prefab mobile house components are recyclable. Steel panels can be melted down and reused, plastic fixtures can be repurposed into new components, and insulation can be recycled into new insulation or used as fuel in waste-to-energy plants. The company’s “take-back program” ensures that old units are collected and recycled, rather than ending up in landfills—reducing waste and creating a circular economy for temporary housing.
