The Relief Housing Unit (RHU) and the RHU Structure can be disassembled after a period of use and reassembled in a different location upon need.
In many cases, the shelters are reused for other purposes when no longer in service as family accommodation, enabling the benefits of the shelter’s modular design. With no glued joints, all building parts can be disassembled and reused in new combinations. Extending the lifespan the shelter by reuse and repurposing reduces the carbon footprint.
Storage facilities

The inside of the walls can be reinforced, if used as storage of valuable goods.
Livestock

More entry points or ventilation openings can be cut out from the panels if needed.
Shading areas

Panels can be removed to achieve better air flow through the unit.
Local material upgrade

Scalable shelters

The modularity of the shelter allows for creating larger and smaller units.
