However, everyone should keep in mind that this is a 4,300 sf house for a single family. I can't speak to how large the Ellis family is, but the average American home is only 2,100 sf. The concept of a large "green" house like this, especially when population is predicted to rise 50% by 2050, should not be used as a model for ordinary homebuyers and builders. It's great that this home is demonstrating the potential of these technologies and green techniques, but i believe that oversized homes like this should not be portrayed as model green homes The practices and technology that this house showcases should be used as models for other green homes.
