What we are doing NOW.
We build true Zero Energy Lifestyle homes with the latest U.S. Oak Ridge National Lab DBMS report defined "Asymmetrical" ICF system (google that; see Figure 2 type 3 on the Chart 4). It is 246% more energy efficient than a wood/stud wall. Then we add a Geothermal/Solar Radiant energies management system which includes a Fresh Air exchanger instead of a recirculating HVAC unit. Our Technology Demonstrator display home is proposed for a new subdivision that is 100% infrastructure complete and ready for the Zero Energy model-home/sales-office construction. The developers will fund 80% of the total cost of the Technology Demonstrator Display home. We are trying to raise the remaining 20%...about $300K. That is a small "entry fee" to be involved in this $20Mil subdivision project. The developers have two follow-on projects as well, one is a Zero Energy retail/commercial MALL on 7.7 acres. And the other is an entire COMMUNITY with multiple multi-family Townhomes, shopping, services, restaurant, and entertainment structures, an assisted living facility on the Ideas Institute model, and several single family homes. Think of this as a Dell Web community on steroids and totally Zero Energy. IF you have appropriate contacts, please forward this information, Thank You ! ! So that's who we are, thanks for your contact. Don www.ZeroEnergyLifestyle.blogspot.com for photos, too.

Like I said, we think alike. We will sign off on the project this week.

No small surprise this kind of innovation is coming out of Arizona. Arizona and Florida have the highest GDP in the US. Not just the major cities but the entire state. You can probably thank your legislators for making that a reality.
Thanx for doing what you do.

We looked into an earlier version of the sty blocks. My brother in-law did use the wih great results on his house.
Look up Thomas Peterson SEE housing.
The developer is covering 80% of home cost, and you still need 300k? Total cost of home is 1.5 mil. In this day of conservation and living within budgets/ not needing to keep up with the Jones people need affordable smart housing.
What is the proposed sq ft of the house? I'll check out the web site.
Best; Tom
I am one of the welcome wagon crew. We are all volunteers. Out of sheer numbers I greet daily I have a paste and copy note.
It is not intended to overwhelm you, just give you a direction and some contacts.
We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to bring to light; a clear heard message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. We cannot afford put this on the back burner again! This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters, keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement.
*************Please, I ask the first sites you visit to get accurate info and articles to see pretty much what the plan is about and where the plan stands, and please come back to these sites often as changes take place regularly. Some are long, please; take the time to get all the details.

There is a group for almost everything. The Forums/discussions on this site are many and you’ll probably find something that interests or concerns you. Some are very long and were started months ago.
