Welcome to TV and TOTV.
Great idea to think ahead.
Because we were only interested in older homes (6 and 11 years) we didn't even tour anything new.
We were concerned about the ecology and the economy and were looking at roof lines, exposures, and the ability to use active and passive solar.
On the larger home in TV and a place off-site, we're delighted to see the meters run backwards most of the time with our solar installation.
We did the solar attic fans and are looking into a concept we noticed in TOTV this week - running a loop of domestic water into the attic to heat and/or pre-heat.
There are certain types of landscaping and some absorbent additives to help conserve water that seemed interesting.
Keep us posted,
