Love the finishes, and I especially like how they used the area well to bring light down to the basement.

I'm with Ernie and Alex. Durability counts for a lot when we talk about sustainability. Maybe a wooden high chair. Or maybe we could recycle the plastic ones.

Hopefully if demand in the US becomes high enough they will start using this process here too some day. Great info.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Great design and multiple integrated sustainable systems. I would rework the right side of the second floor to turn the storage into a full bath, and then have a master suite at the far right side.

Now that's more like it, green I mean. Clean design, prefab, lot's of sustainable features. A little small for my family, but maybe some day.

Re: Solaris Style B Modern Green Home

Nice clean design, but to label these homes as Green is stretching things a bit. Adding energy star appliances and a small photovoltaic array to an otherwise normally insulated house boarders on greenwashing. They missed a great opportunity for solar heating by placing more windows on the east elevation and not that many on the south. Were there any other Green products or strategies used: rain barrrels, LED lighting, whole house fan, low VOC materials, recycled materials?

Energy efficiency! Remember the 1 for 5 rule: "For every $1 spent on making your home moer enenrgy efficient, you will save $3 to $5 on the cost of a renewable energy system."
