This Texas house borrows from the ground and the sky to achieve net-zero energy use and complete water independence.
Our award for best energy-smart home (2015) goes to homeowners Tom and Peggy Kolnowski, who worked closely with their architect and builder to create a home that produces and conserves energy and resources, while adhering to a reasonable building budget.
