Wow! Thanks! Guess I got some reading to do.

Although, of course the finance of it runs deeper than energy efficiency, as it seems quite a bit cheaper per square foot to buy a preexisting home. But on the other hand, there's probably some non-quantifiable benefit to designing a home from scratch. Also, finding a suitable piece of property that doesn't already have a home isn't so easy, either.
