I know, it'd be nice to see how that orange turns out.

I think the doors are from Northwest Door in the Modern Classic Series.

We didn't mess with anyone's photos. These are direct from the PR department of Eco by Cosentino.

I agree. This entry into the green prefab world is absolutely out of this world. If this makes any sense.

And that can save some energy, too, considering how hot it is in Texas.

Re: Simple DIY Rooftop Solar Clover

I met these guys at West Coast Green, and I got the impression that $6k was for 3 clovers, for a cost hovering around $6/W installed (including microinverter). He made it clear that prices would drop appreciably at any volume, and I came away feeling like this would be a great modular add-on for almost any application, but ideal for OTG cabins, or yurts at Burning Man. :)

Brian, I highly recommend reading The Ecology of Commerce. It'll change your mind. The science of climate change is a hot aspect of environmentalism, but the massive destruction and waste of resources, habitats, and the environment in general is kind of hard to realize unless you're an industrialist or you read something like that book.

Re: Green Container House in Houston

jetsongreen — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:03:59 -0000

From the developer: "The Cordell House was $128/sq ft construction only (no land), but we did receive some discounts and would expect it to cost $150/sq ft if we had paid full price for everything. The house has many custom features and as it states on our website, our finished projects have ranged from $100 sq/ft to $150 sq/ft."

Re: 11 Net-Zero Energy Workforce Homes

And when you think about the green tech that went into the development as a whole, the cost isn't that outrageous. Land + 11 homes + 2 apartments + office space total $3.5 million?

Seems pretty reasonable in comparison to some of the one-off homes we see pushing the $1million or more mark.

Re: Modern Green Concept Home in Bellevue

While the Passive House zeros in on energy efficiency and tightness, LEED has a broader focus on other important environmental aspects, such as site issues, construction activity, materials and waste, water efficiency, and environmental air quality, etc. The goals and programs are slightly different, and in terms of sustainability, energy is only one part of the equation. To be clear, when you say you want to see more from LEED projects, someone else could say they want Passive House projects to use more eco-friendly materials and use less water.

Thanks, Brian. When I first learned about Common Ground, I thought: "Wow. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. This is big-time innovation at its best. We gotta talk about this." Mithun and the community really came together in a cool way here.

You're right about that one. It's still solar powered, though.

Yes,

I have been tracking it thanks to your web site link. The first time I heard about it was at last year's AIA convention. Brach presented the principles of the passive house, and I was really blown away.
By the way, great job on your blog. It's such an exciting time right now. Things are changing in our industry so fast that sometimes its hard to keep up with it all. I have found your blog to be about the best resource for what's happening with the green movement to date. .......And its creator is in Utah, how cool is that?

Great to hear. You probably already know about the Passive House project in Millcreek then by Brach Design, but I thought I would mention it.
