Note
Dedicates his services to designing and making available an oasis that harvests the natural elements. - Builder- Designer Special information This home is designed and constructed to harvest the natural elements (solar, wind, and rainwater) to provide food, heating and cooling, electric requirements, and domestic warm and cold water. It is a hybrid home since the fully automated mechanical systems are comprised of these "alternative" systems and more conventional materials and energy sources. The "alternative" systems are generally the first used, with the exception of propane cooking and clothes drying, yet the more conventional systems provide supplemental or backup energy supplies.
The use of conventional systems means that this house may be purchased with bank mortgage financing. The harvesting of natural elements facilitates lower monthly utility bills over the life of the home, allows the home to be impervious to local utility shutdown during severe weather, and greatly reduces environmental impacts from the consumption of fossil fuels.
