In 1982 I built this house for myself.  At that time, I wanted to demonstrate the viability of simple energy conservation techniques.

The five strategies chosen were:

1.  Passive Solar Gain

2.  Super Insulation

3.  Earth sheltering

4.  High Mass

5.  Time of Day Energy Use

This house used only electric power.  In the twelve years I lived there, my average monthly utility bills were less than $50.
