> House #1 A 20 room mansion (not including 8
> bathrooms) heated by natural gas.
> Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all
> heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than
> the average American household does in a year. The average bill for
> electricity and natural gas runs over $2400.
> In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the
> national average for an American home. This house is not situated in
> a Northern or
> Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.

> House #2 Designed by an architecture professor
> at a leading national university.
> This house incorporates every "green" feature current home
> construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms)
> and is nestled on a high prairie in the American Southwest. A central
> closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water
> through pipes sunk 300 feet
> into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees
> F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The
> system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes
> one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling
> system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a
> 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and
> toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the
> cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the
> house.
> Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property
> to blend into the surrounding
> rural landscape.
