The Zero emissions house: Japan shows one to the world

Twice today on the national news I heard references to a zero-emissions home being unveiled at the economic summit being held in Japan. This may be similar to what's being planned in California. If I recall correctly, this is one of California's goals by 2020 - that new houses consume no more energy than they produce.

Heaven knows there is plenty of interest in these green houses around here. When I wrote about a SMUD and private builder collaboration for a Leed Platinum house in Folsom recently people came out of the woodwork to say they, too, are working on green houses.

I did a little googling and found some details about the Japanese house here. There is a better diagram on this site.

I am guessing we'll be hearing more about this the next couple of days during the summit. More and more I also keep hearing that home builders are really going to find their styles of building changed in California by the state's big climate bill: AB32.

It's a great subject and we're going to be tracking it here. All thoughts welcome.
