# Woodburner for heating - renewable and locally plentiful
# Flue goes through big stone/plaster lump to retain and slowly release heat
# Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
# Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
# Solar panels for lighting, music and computing
# Water by gravity from nearby spring
# Compost toilet
# Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.
