GE's Home of the Future
17 July 2009 - 11:00am
General Electric has released a design for a Home of the Future, which is planned to be almost completely energy-neutral. As GOOD Magazine notes, the house is almost overloaded with gadgets to get you there.
"There are some cool ideas in here: For example, I’m a big fan of home energy monitors (as are Google with their Powermeter and Microsoft with Hohm). But there are a lot of ideas that seem to stretch the limits what is practical, like installing solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal heat pumps (seems expensive and site specific)."
