A passive solar dream house in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. "Until you live in a glass house I don't think you notice as much how the sun moves," explains homeowner Cliff Butler. "We see it move daily."

  • I didn't catch what he said at the end.... anybody?...

  • @victorenriquemunoz Here's a transcription of the last minute of our conversation:

    Kirsten- What gets me is you're not an architect?

    Cliff- No I'm just a tightwad.

    Kirsten- Is that really all?

    Cliff- No I really do hate using up resources. Oil, gas…

    Kirsten- Why?

    Cliff- It just makes you dependent on other people. The least you can use of natural resources the better, don't you agree?

  • What a fabulous house

  • This was the video that got me hooked on this channel.

  • I love this guy...he is a brilliant designer, What a great house!

    

  • Loss through the Homes windows and doors will cost 50% of the utility bills.

  • This year I covered my only skylight with yellow towels which blocked the direct sun into an interior bathroom but still let the light in. I also blocked more western sun by putting my large plants outside in front of those windows and I plan to add a tarp over the deck. I'm sure you noticed the wood stove which is a great backup for heat.

  • Thanks, I just turned it around.

  • He should know he's displaying his flag incorrectly. Stars go to the upper left.

  • You're not a tight wad, just a visionary. Nice home. I wish others thought as you did. I'm sure there are some greenies that give you a hard time because you didn't use the most green material.
