RECLAIMED TIMBER
Many of the exposed beams throughout the home were salvaged from antique structures.


COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCKS
Many of the thick interior walls (non load-bearing) were constructed on site from local soils.


ENERGY-SAVING LIGHTING
LED and CFL lamps reduce both the heat and costs of illumination.


ENERGY STAR APPLIANCES
All appliances meet or exceed Energy Star requirements.


WATER-SAVING FAUCET AND CAST IRON SINK
As with all faucets and fixtures in the home, the Kohler kitchen faucet is an ultra low flow model.


FORMALDEHYDE-FREE CABINETS
Cabinet components were constructed without formaldehyde-based resins.


LONG-LASTING STONE FLOORS
Durable limestone tile offers decades of service, and avoids the air quality issues associated with other flooring materials.


Although it shares many design elements of a traditional pueblo-style home, this super-efficient home has dozens of energy-saving and resource-conscious features.
