This is an incredible place. Green Roofs and where they are going in the future will be a positive change in the way architecture is designed.

The high tech gadgets necessary for modern, green tech living are part of Smart Home. Composting is done through a tabletop composter. A ventless and portable fireplace burns ethanol and gives off carbon dioxide and water vapor as exhaust and a stationary children’s bike is used to power a Nintendo Wii. Charging your cell phone inside the Smart Home is also green, it uses solar power.

The home also has an air filtration and purification system and uses spray-in foam insulation. Spray-in foam insulation is superior to traditional rolled insulation because it provides a stronger barrier within walls which helps to minimize air leakage for increased energy efficiency.
