Solar Panel Home Heating

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]

I want to build a enviro-friendly "green" house. Where can I find plans and costs for LEED and green homes?

I need architechtural plans and realistic way to cost out a "green" home less than or about 2000 or so sf.

Here is what I want:
-passive solar
-Depending on costs:
--gray water recycling
--under floor radient heating
--consider alternative construction like straw bale/rammed earth or modular
--recycled materials for insulation
--bamboo
--natural materials
--solar panels
--heat pump
I'd really like to do it right but I'm of moderate income and single middle aged woman.

I need it to be affordable. I'm in Alabama and few do this. I need to keep humidity and heat and climate in mind.

Under or around 2000 sf

Any info on financing for green homes would be welcome too;

This looks like a decent book to get you started. Probably available at your local book store. Also see the "customers also bought" list. These in turn will have more alternatives.

I presume you'll be using a builder. The best start might be to find a green home builder in your area and talk.

This link is about more extreme options. That's likely to be a difficult road to travel.
