ASOBOX can serve as temporary housing during natural disasters, such as earthquakes and typhoons, and as a mobile base for reconstruction support. The model is equipped with a solar power generation system as a standard feature for most models, enabling it to operate off-grid. However, customers can further customize the trailer to meet specific needs, such as adding battery storage, a circulating water system, and an environmentally conscious toilet.
ASOBOX can also be adapted for various purposes, including as a retail space, office, or temporary lodging. For businesses, the trailer house offers a tax advantage. It is exempt from real estate acquisition and property taxes and has a shorter depreciation period compared to conventional properties.

By standardizing materials and construction plans, and leveraging big data to optimize land prices and reduce operational costs, Green Energy & Company aims to create a new standard in affordable, sustainable housing. The firm has also digitized its operations and expanded its reach nationwide through a network of 40 franchise stores, further reducing costs through collective material purchasing.
ASOBOX could even have an international appeal as more communities around the world face energy insecurity and climate-related challenges, and Green Energy & Company aims to expand its model and encourage new ways to think about sustainable living.
