A lot of homes claim to be green construction--I think this is one really is green.

Martin Holladay features this home in the February issue of Energy Design Update. Apparently the Denver Habitat for Humanity built one and found it's a net producer of energy.
Martin says the energy effciency and renewable energy features add about $42,000 to the cost of the 1200 sf home, but PV incentives brought that figure down to $28,000. I'm curious what it cost to build. Do you know Martin?
