What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

The classic Earthship design is about the most green/energy efficient design existing. Temperatures in winter do not go below about 60 degrees due to the huge amount of thermal mass. Concrete and flag stone floors also absorb heat and allow relatively comfortable temperatures. A wood stove and a small propane stove may be used to bring up the temperature into the 70 degree range. In summer months skylights and east/west doors create a cross breeze for cooling. The home is off-grid, but if desired electric hook up is accessible. Construction of rammed earth, adobe walls, and salvaged materials make this a dark green home.
