I saw this on CNN about zero energy housing going up in two days.
http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2010/09/02/n_nyc_green_home.cnnmoney/
Made me curious about zero energy houses in the Knoxville area.
I came across this UT zero energy project that looks to be in the process of building a house.
Are there any other homes or buildings in actual use in the area that are zero energy?
