I really like the bathroom, the sink is gorgeous. Zero energy homes are a big interest of mine, it is good to see one so close to my own backyard.

I think the doors are from Northwest Door in the Modern Classic Series.

I love these opaque garage doors. Any idea where they can be found?

That's pretty fancy but it can be done to an old house, too.

I bought an old beach house in S. Cal (granted, the weather here is mild).

I replaced the natural gas appliances with electric appliances - $3000
I insulated - $3000
I replaced a couple of windows - $2000
I put a 5kw pv system on the roof (with help of friends & family) - $15000 after credit & rebate

So, for $23k i have an energy neutral beach house. In fact, I oversized my PV system. Energy Independence starts at (my) home.

I think that if more and more of these kinds of homes were built, not only would it be low-priced, it could also start of a trend and lessen our dependency on other countries for energy.
