Rough Idea




-I've done a floor plan and a 3-veiw sketch, I tried to make this house small, as smaller houses use less materials to make, thus costing less money to build, and are generally more energy efficient than large houses.
-In the little inlet of the house, I apologize for it not being bigger, I have directed the rooftops to pool rain water which can be harvested through a drain, it's too small to be seen
clearly, I apologize again. I also have designed the roof to provide space for 23, maybe 24, 3-by-5 Feet solar panels.
-Also I am considering integrating a green switch into every room. It basically cuts off power to idling electronic devices, it can save alot of energy.
-Something that I know alot of Vermonters do is using compost to fertilize soil, so I will also incoperate that.
-In addition to passive solar heating methods, I intend to incorperate a pellet stove.
I'd really appreciate any comments or suggestions. See you all soon
