A solar house by Huf   [www.huf-haus.de]

Huf was featured in the UK Channel 4 TV programme "Grand Designs".  This is their carbon-neutral solar house with specs.  I am always disappointed with the green-ness of the houses I rent.  It's a nice dream to imagine living in a pretty, energy-efficient house, but would it be practical in anywhere but suburbia?  Urban living is so convenient.
