Thanks royiv, we are really proud of what we did and what we’ve tried to show others though it’s hard to get people to see it. The environmental cost of construction is legit but if we could reform building standards even more there is so much we can do. Right now it’s expensive but with market adoption costs would come down. Rainwater collection, concrete walls (ICF for ours), mini split AC and ducted (like central AC) mini splits, solar, battery back up, all of it really can make a home much much less of a drain on resources but the residential construction industry is so slow to adopt. Frustrates us. You can’t see any sacrifice in design or style with our eco-friendly features but when my wife has used it for marketing the only thing that lands is the look and feel. We really need to see substantial reforms. This house will be here for 150 years easy. Maybe longer. And the resource cost to operate is negligible.
