What is sustainable housing?
Sustainable housing is like a math equation. We want to make a home where the energy required is less than the energy produced, where the waste is discarded in a way that benefits the local environment, where water is conserved and made clean again after it is used, and where the design of the house fits into the surrounding environment and makes it even more beautiful.
