dc.description.abstractA number of utilities should be delivered to householders to fulfil certain requirements via disparate infrastructures associated with production, distribution and consumption. Since the major of these utilities require enormous expenditure and bring complexity, undesired interactions and difficulty in installation, maintenance and management are always encountered. To deal with these issues, a number of models for the single-utility product have been proposed such as the blood of city and the umbilical cording vision. In this study, we propose a model by drawing an analogy between a womb and home so as to supply all services through one utility product. To form the mental picture of the analogy, the life cycle from the birth to the death are taken into consideration in four aspects: foetus as the householder, placenta as the security, umbilical cording as the networking, and amniotic fluid as the stabilizer of the indoor temperature. © 2016 IEEE.
