IF money were not an issue and I was building a home, I would want it located directly on the Gulf where wind power could be combined with solar to power the entire home year round! My windows would be wind/hurricane resistant and also coated to reduce interior heating, thusly saving on air conditioning!
Naturally, all appliances would be top of the line energy saving and bathroom fixtures/toilet would be water saving! The home would have reverse osmosis for the water system so there would be no need to purchase bottled water.
Xeriscaping in the yard goes without saying, since this is something I started doing well over 10 years ago!!! There are just too many water shortages and have been for a long time in Florida!!!
Rather than using electric for cooking, I would have gas in the kitchen - besides not using electricity, food cooks better on gas!!!
And all of my lighting and lighting fixtures would be the latest in energy saving!!!
Add to that a hybrid auto for showing homes to customers and we are ready to go!!!
Nothing that spectacular, but I would definitely hire the best experts out there to give me advice on what to purchase and how to make improvements!
