My Girlfriend and I are going to get married later this year so we started building a custom home in Fort Worth.
Were doing as much as possible to make it as green as it can be. We plan on things that will have a long term effect such as foam insulation, vinyl windows, radiant roof, solar, water reclamation, drip system irrigation, LED lighting along with energy eff appliances. If we can we want to try for geotherm heat pumps.
I believe the Pay Now or Pay Later approach. Some technology is still costly such as LED lighting, my current project, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and move forward within reason.
Our goal is to offset monthly utilities by 50% or more.
