Lots of good ideas here.
I could not live in a house with stairs again. It was fine when I moved here 10 years ago but never again.
Same with the attic fan, its wonderful 8 months of the year here.
No one has mentioned solar panels. I have electrical panels on the roof now and it puts out 44 kw every day that we do not have clouds and thats about 350 days a year. Except for summer, my average useage is less than 10 kw, so its sold back to the power company to provide $$. Also solar water heater. These two should be built onto every house in the country.
Garage cannot be big enough and both the house and garage need to have the heating in the floor then supplimented by a heat pump for year round useage. Also am too damm old fashioned and still like a real wood burning fireplace.
