You’re already seeing that in the way the publications are going. Housing in America has always been influenced by America itself, but you’re going to see more influence from Europe and looking at what other people are doing. We’re getting more serious about looking at other examples because of a sharing of issues. We need potential models for these economics, energy and resource issues. Housing size will probably shrink, and housing will get more efficient. There’s going to be significant growth in energy-efficient, water-efficient and resource-efficient housing Above, in my humble opinion, are the two best and most logical comments posted by the 'experts'. I have studied 'architecturally designed' energy efficient homes in NV. What an embarrassment and an insult to suggest a house with a 24ft ceiling in the kitchen with 11 down lights (at 24 ft) is sensibly designed, given our recognized desire to conserve energy, let alone building materials!

For every person who makes a promise to themselves to practice green living, the world moves a little closer to being a cleaner, happier place.
