Our house is filled with energy saving technologies, the biggest of which is the fact that it only has two walls facing the outside. This helps keep the heat out when necessary and the warmth in when we occasionally need to pay for warmth in Atlanta.Other green considerations:
- Energy Star rated modern stainless steel appliances
- Separate heat pumps and condenser units for the living and sleeping areas allowing zone temperature control
- 12" of attic insulation
- Double pane window panels
- Community garden for homeowners to grow their own produce.
In fact, the house retains temperature so well, we can see electricity bills as low as $150 a month in summer - no gas bills to worry about either!
I can't imagine the "two walls facing the outside." But it does take a lot of care to ascertain if our home appliances are energy efficient. Even the smallest hole in the corner of our house is enough to bore a hole through our pockets!
