I found this cool GREEN home in Ohio that is a DIY for 100.00 a square foot.
From the Nutter Residence blog: "The Nutter Green Home is located in the Eastgate area of Union Township in Milford, Ohio. Krista Atkins Nutter, designer and owner of the Nutter Green Home, is a certified interior designer with an MS Architecture degree and is a Professor of Design for the Art Institute of Pittsburgh – Online Division. She and her husband, Kenneth have built a super-insulated, energy efficient, passive solar, solar electric home with solar hot water heating and a rainwater catchment system to provide water for toilet flushing, clothes washing, and outdoor uses. The home is designed for the way the family lives and works as well as for the local climate, and has achieved an Energy Star Rating of 5-PLUS Stars (the highest possible) as well as a 2007 Cincinnati Sustainability Award. One of the main goals of the home is to serve as an educational model for the community. Many community, professional, and student groups have already attended tours and seminars at the Nutter Green Home, including the 2007 National Solar Tour, and seminars for the Green Energy Ohio (GEO) organization. Ms. Nutter is also a member of Green Energy Ohio and frequently speaks to local universities, organizations, and professional groups about the home and sustainable building practices."
