money by saving energy.
The home features solar water heat that
saves
a significant amount of money with Hawaii’s high energy price.
Also, the house
is designed not to need air conditioning, because it is energy efficient,
with a radiant barrier installed, and uses a variety of natural
ventilation strategies,
including orientation to catch breezes, large louvered windows
and a venting skylight, as well as a light-colored roof.
Energy-efficient
appliances and lighting also were supplied with the home.
The porch is constructed with recycled plastic composite lumber.
