I just can't get this build idea out of my head lately. Darin and I looked up some more info on these houses and their energy efficiency is simply amazing. Here are some quotes he dug up on a 1400ish square foot house in Illinois. Heat and water heat are all electric. Amazing results.
"For most of the
year, the house requires no supplemental heat at all. The
1,000-watt (3,141 Btu/h) electric heating element is integrated
with the HRV. Last January, her electric bill (for all
household uses, including heat) totaled only $35 (340
kWh)... the month included two
cloudy weeks and temperatures as low as -10°F."
"Annual electricity consumption for heating was 1,065 kWh for the twelve
month period between February 2005 and February 2006."
