Touring the ultimate green house

House produces hot showers, cold beer,
and more energy than it needs.

Residential living doesn't get much more efficient than this.

SNOWMASS, colorado -- The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) has a series of systems designed to provide all the power it needs, maintain steady, comfortable temperatures year-round, and even grow bananas -- at 8,000 feet elevation.

The house and offices are a prime example of one of RMI's chief directives: efficiency first, and then renewables. In other words, do everything you can to cut power usage and then supply what's still needed with renewable energy sources.
