You house of the future article is interesting but, you need to get in step
with most of the rest of us. A $679,000 price tag is completely out of
reach for the vast majority of the middle class. The size and price
calculate to $350 per SF. I am a builder of workforce housing in Taos,
NM, and we can build a high quality very energy efficient home for
around $160 per SF. Why don''t you look for homes to honor that people
can afford to buy????

Thanks for explaining your work with energy efficient building.
We build steel framed homes 8" wall, so agree that the bigger insulation is better.
We use solar (18 panel Kyocera)for power and a geothermal heat pump (ground based) for heating/cooling.
Annual bill for 4500 sq ft. (home, garage and separate office building) was $2640. We are still working at lowering this figure, but feel good about the home.

$24/month for power? My utility companies already have more than that on my bill (customer fee, meter reading fee, tax, tax, tax, etc.)before they get to the part where they charge me for power! That's where we need some real improvement.
