A
B
Sure
is,
but
I
understand
it
didn't
happen
by
accident.
Well,
it
didnt.
You
know,
in
order
to
do
something
like
that,
you
really
got
a
plan
from
beginning
to
end
and
with
this
house
we
work
with
arlington
county,
their
green
home
choice
program
to
really
plan
the
house
from
beginning
to
end
with
architects
and
engineers.
Well,
what
we've
done
with
this
house
is?
B
We
use
something
called
gravel
tape,
which
is
a
set
of
rings,
that
you
lay
down
over
large
done,
gravel
and
that
large
star
travel
is
about
12,
inches
underneath,
and
so
it
almost
serves
as
a
reservoir.
Then
this
this
set
of
rings
sits
on
top
of
that,
and
then
you
put
your
nice
pretty
gravel
in
it
and
it
locks
in
so
it
acts
like
pavement.
It
can
hold
a
car,
but
when
it
rains
that
entire
piece
underneath
acts
as
a
reservoir
hole
in
the
water
and
preventing
run
off
very.
A
B
And
one
of
the
other
things
we've
done
is
when
I
talked
about
water
conservation,
not
just
making
sure
we
have
pervious
surfaces
but
making
sure
we
can
conserve
as
much
water
preserve
that
rain
when
it
comes
down,
so
we
can
use
it
later.
Can
I
show
couple
I
love
to
see
how
you're
all
right?
Well
jus.
Let
me
show
you
this:
these
are
our
rain
barrels
and
what
this
does
is
this
carries
the
water
from
our
roof
above
we
filter
it
through
a
screen
here,
but
then
it
retains
the
water
patty
with.
B
So
this
site
is
developed
to
accommodate
a
one
inch
range.
Ok,
so
what
we
have
here?
This
is
a
60
gallon
barrel
up
above
we
have
a
green
roof.
So
the
combination
of
that
green
roof
and
this
rain
barrel
allows
us
to
catch
a
one-inch
ring,
so
Joe
there's
a
whole
lot
more
to
see
inside.
Would
you
like
to
come
in,
whereas.
B
This
is
the
kitchen
area,
and
there
there
are
couple
things
I'd
like
to
highlight
in
here
that
we
looked
at
from
a
green
perspective.
That's
the
posted
beam,
that's
a
structural
part
of
the
house
and
instead
of
using
solid
wood.
What
we
did
in
this
case
is
this
is
a
recycled
wood.
It's
a
post-industrial,
recycled
wood
so
would
that
they
otherwise
would
use
for
furniture.
But
it's
not
good
enough.
Of
course
you
can
see.
We
have
energy,
star
appliances,
the
countertops
in
this
house
and
a
lot
of
people.
This
is
sort
of
a
new
thing.
B
B
B
The
house
was
built
out
of
something
we
call
structural
insulated
panels.
What
you
have
is
plywood
on
either
side
and
then
styrofoam
like
a
cooler
on
the
inside,
and
what
this
does
is
it
turns
your
house
into
a
cooler.
Your
house
is
so
well
sealed
and
so
well
insulated.
You
don't
lose
heat
in
the
winter.
You
don't
lose
cool
in
the
summer.
Another
component
to
this
is
to
make
sure
you
have
good
windows.
This
is
a
Plexiglas
window.
It's
about
an
inch
thick
and
inside.
B
It
is
something
called
aerogel
or
nanogel,
and
that
is
a
highly
insulating
gel,
and
what
that
does
in
this
case
is
it
allows
this
window
this
light
wall
to
be
about
an
insulating
as
a
two-by-four
construction
bowl
with
fiberglass.
So
now
that
we've
talked
about
how
the
house
was
built,
let's
talk
about
the
brains
of
the
operation,
how
we
heat
and
cool
the
house
in
an
efficient
way.
This
is
our
geothermal
hvac
system
and
what
you
can
look
at
here.
We've
got
two
tubes
coming
right
behind
you
up
over
you.
B
One
goes
out
of
the
house.
One
goes
in
the
house.
This
is
what
we
call
a
closed
loop
system
and
there's
a
liquid
that
runs
through
this
two
down
through
two
wells
that
we
dug
each
320
feet.
What
that
does
is
it
uses
the
ambient
temperature
of
the
earth,
which
is
55
degrees,
waters,
55
degrees
when
it
comes
through
the
tube
and
through
the
system
it
takes?
B
The
heat
out
of
the
system
in
the
summer
runs
it
down
into
the
ground
and
sinks
it
into
the
ground,
so
it
acts
as
a
heat
sink
in
the
summer
and
a
heat
source
in
the
winter.
This
cuts
down
our
heating
and
air
conditioning
costs
by
about
fifty
percent,
if
you
can
believe
it
and
which
is
just
an
incredible
savings
for
us,
so
we
go
on
outside
Oh,
open
up.
B
And
the
great
thing
about
a
green
roof
is
it
does
a
couple
of
things
where
you
want
it's
beautiful
on
a
roof
news
like
this,
but
it
is
meant
to
take
in
the
runoff
when
we're
downstairs
I
soldiers,
some
rain
barrels.
But
what
this
does
is.
This
can
hold
a
one
inch
rain,
so
this
will
soak
up
a
one
inch
rain
and
prevent
that
runoff
from
going
island
ground.
It
also
helps
to
insulate
the
house
and,
in
addition,
the
roof
is
angled
in
such
a
way
that
it
is
a
perfect
angle
for
solar
panel.
B
Yes,
I've
started
a
business
called
Metro
green.
It's
a
home
construction
company,
I
can
build
for
people,
but
I
can
also
provide
consultation.
I
can
only
give
thanks
to
Arlington
County
for
an
example.
They
set
with
the
things
they've
done
and
there
are
Lincoln
green
hub
choice
program
with
just
great
for
us
right,
patty.
