For more info on how to build an energy efficient home, or perhaps build an off-grid home, or even how to build an off-grid Tiny Home, check out our building guide pages, or use our Edelweiss House as an example of what is possible when you design for optimum energy efficiency from the beginning, as it only consumes about $600 a year in total energy - that includes all the electricity for lighting, heating, cooking, bathing, and even charging an electric car for an extended daily commute.
