I like all the new flexible and light weight solar panels now too and CA even has some that are like shingles. We are still working on the funds to get started with a solar hot water heater...they are getting beautifully designed these days.. We need to see some code changes and subsidies or enticements to accomplish some of these things, but we know how to do them <abbr><em><abbr><em>Patricias last blog post..<a href="http://www.bikingarchitect.com/%E2%80%9Cwhen-the-dog-bites-when-the-bee-stings%E2%80%A6%E2%80%9D/" rel="nofollow">“When the Dog Bites, When the Bee Stings…”</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Eyeteaguy,

I never though of recycling the material on-site, brilliant. Its lots of little ideas like this that will really save us. Just like lots of different green chemicals replaced CFCs. (not great, but better) The one thing that bugs me most is all those lovely south facing roofs with no solar panels. I think it should be a crime not to build a house without them. How much would it really add to the cost? How much would it save over the life of the panaels and house? Get 'em off the grid.

I hope it will increase communications between all the architects to increase Green and energy savings ideas. I enjoyed your songs, I appreciate creative expressions and the arts like my wife says a good laugh opens up more creative ideas. Welcome Jannie,
