solar hot water (even heats the hot tub and melts snow and ice off the front walk)
passive solar/distributed thermal mass (home stays at 72º when 0º outside with no heat on!)
heliostat (directs sunlight into home's interior)
low maintenance, no fertilizer, low water requirement Pearl's Premium organic lawn
