Sustainy on the Road, Minnesota State Fair
Sustainy drops by the Eco House at the Minnesota State Fair

We popped by the eco experience at the Minnesota State fair last week and snapped a couple pictures of the net zero eco house. It was an open walk through design, set up to showcase green technologies and building practices for the home. In sustainy fashion, the materials and design of the house pays for themselves, no operational costs! In addition to the exterior, where you may be able to make out the rain garden (with real running water pouring out of the gutters!), there were a number of materials used in the sustainy construction. A solar façade, green roof, and large, south-facing windows, to start. The set up focused on the relationship between a home and the surrounding lot, gardens, weather, and seasons, specifically for Minnesota climates.
