Answer 2

If your water table is low enough then you can build your place underground!   If the water table is too high (flood rooms) you can build it above ground but cover entirely with earth!  Plant grass on it!

Best is to hollow out a mountain and build inside it!  This way you either get insulation from the earth or rocks - less heating and less cooling!

Outside where you have access to sunlight you can use solar energy collectors.   If you are out in the sticks you can also have wind power electricity generators too!

Personally, for a mostly normal looking house I prefer concrete with very thick walls!   Tornado and hurricane proof too!   In areas of the country where there is little chance of freezing - you can have water tanks on the roof where the sun can heat the water for showers.
