Question

Do Energy Efficient Homes Look Different From Usual Homes?

Answer 1

Solar panels and double paned windows are usually all you may see.

Answer 2

Only if you want them to. Energy efficient homes can be of any style or design. They can also use conventional building materials but the difference is in how these materials are used.

Solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal sources can generate 40-80% of your home energy needs. This is where energy efficiency can make a difference by solving two major needs: (i) saving on your electric bill and (ii) saving the environment.
