SOLAR AND WIND COST GENERATOR

This is a pretty sweet tool my buddy Sammy sent me. You put in your address and then you can choose wind or solar, draw the area of your yard or roof you'd like to use and it does cost and wattage estimates based on air currents, solar azimuths and what not. Pretty rad for those looking into adding solar or wind to their current home or building something new.

ROCIO ROMERO HOMES

So, I've been looking at these for about 2 years roughly, and she's right in my backyard. I really just need to go to her house when she has an open house in a few weeks. They look pretty awesome. She's taken the time to look at the economic and ecologic considerations as well as efficiency. So if you aren't digging the idea of updating your home, designing a home from scratch and figuring out what technologies to use or migrating to a more efficient but much smaller home, maybe you'll like these. They're prefabs, but not like any you'll see around.



EDIT** - Went and did a tour, man those things are flipping awesome. She is a genius.
