Sure we've seen these ratings awarded to homes and office buildings already but not to a remodel -- until now. Sustainable House is a revamped 1948 rambler now completely outfitted in green technology and eco-saving devices. Such renovations include: energy-efficient appliances, CFLs, natural Quartz countertops, Aquia dual-flush toilets, fly ash cement where used, four 130 feet closed-loop wells for geothermal energy, greywater system, super insulation, passive solar, photovoltaic panels, solar hot water system, Solatubes, and triple-glazed argon windows, just to name a few. With the economy struggling a bit this may be the beginning of some beautiful changes in homes across the country. Save a few bucks on utilities and save the environment -- sounds like a plan to me!
