This "pop up" building can be erected in less than 30 minutes, deployable with a roll-deck van to anywhere anytime.

The Port Townsend office of Olympic Energy Systems has occupied this SIP building for over a year. The annual electrical energy usage of this 8 x 12 building can be met with a 1200 Watt grid-tied solar electric system, including heat! The energy efficiency of the 4 inch SIP walls, roof, and floor allows for heating with less than 8 KWh per day in the middle of winter. The life cycle cost of this building, including building construction cost and electricity from solar, is about $50 per month, over the expected 25 year service life of the solar electric system. You can not find rent that cheap. The building should remain another 25 years or more. [see below]
