House #1 A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms )
heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house)
and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month
this residence consumes more energy than the average
American household does in a year. The average bill for
electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas
alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national
average for an American home. This house is not situated in a
Northern or Midwestern 'snow belt' area. It's in the South.
House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national
university. This house incorporates every 'green' feature current
home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet
( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American
southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal
heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300
feet into the ground.
The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter
and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such
as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity
required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater
from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground
cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes
into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern.
The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the
house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area
enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural
landscape.
HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee ; it is the
abode of the 'environmentalist' Al Gore.
HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford,
Texas ; it is the residence of the President of the United States ,
George W. Bush.
