The home was built with energy conservation and longevity in mind.  It has been super-insulated, triple-pane low e argon windows, utilizing a passive solar design and wired for solar power to be installed in the future.  The materials used in construction were chosen for durability and longevity and include fiber cement board siding and galvaized metal siding, Richlite countertps and cabinets, cork and polished cement floors.
