Off-the-Grid
Country Home
Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
Fresh Country Style
This young couple's property is thousands of feet away ftom
the nearest power pole. So a photovoltaic --that is, solar electric--
system makes good economic sense. High-performance walls, passive
solar heating and passive cooling will combine to make a very
comfortable and energy-efficient structure.
The modest-sized home will use materials such as metal roofing
and board-and-batten siding which recalls the farm buildings
of this rural Wisconsin landscape.
