Alternative Energy Technologies
Once all energy-efficient design strategies have been exhausted, consider what technologies may be used with your home that would help reduces its need for fossil fuels. These technologies have an initial cost associated with them, but if the design is efficient, then the payoff time should be minimal. The following are a few examples of energy-efficient technologies you should discuss with your architect:
Solar Hot Water
Photovoltaic
Wind
Hydroelectric
Geothermal
Biomass & Biofuels
