I like the video very much, please participate, for we would like to have as many designs from all over the world as possible!

I work on a lot of green home, but they all need ventilation to make them healthy. Even using a green product like a heat recovery ventilator it will increase the heat load. A gas space heater doesn’t distribution the heat it produces, so every room would need its own heater or they wouldn't get heat. I going to guess those homes are very uncomfortable and unhealthy. Going green takes money or sacrifice; apparently they choose sacrifice.

say no to subsidizing!!.......call it what it is anouther form of welfare......geesh can our govt stop spending on stuff it has no buisness in? grrr i want a home like that but since me and my wife could not afford to pay the taxes for the subsidizing and buy one too i guess we will have to keep our high bills, keep working, and let someone who works less enjoy the fruits of our labor. gotta love socialism. sorry if i offended anyone im just tired of people worshiping at the alter of green!

These are not just buildings! They are architectural inspirations.

What a great plan, giving people 240k homes that they pay 110k for. Maybe we should fully subsidise these and hand them out to everybody on welfare. Whats one more entitlement?

[SomuchHeart]

Affordble, Confortable, Healthy green home, is the way to go.. best regard to all who involved.

great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Prepare for Peak Oil"...

Also, at over 100$ per sqft, double walls like that are using $10,000-20,000 worth of floor space, nobody ever thinks about that.

I didnt even spend 2500$ last year total utilities for a bigger home, how am I going to save that . The interest it costs to pay the extra on those panels will outway the savings, (even after tax credits) they are getting closer to beating that, but people should know. Plus, does anybody check to make sure the houses arent too tight??? That would be far worse than too leaky.

With banks planning to tear down many of the abandoned and/or foreclosed homes in their inventory, wouldn't it be lovely to see developments such as this go up in their place?

I can dream, can't I?

[BourbonRealty]

Good to see people living "off the grid".

More home builders need go in this direction.
