The Homestead Example Project is used to show the Systems Engineering process as well as collect a lot of the good ideas we've developed for design of sustainable houses. If you would like to discuss anything about the Peak Oil Homestead Project, feel free to post in the Community Design Forum. (You must register to post, but it's free, quick, and easy.)
