"The house employs features such as photovoltaic panels on the roof, a solar thermal hot water system, passive solar design, daylighting, and energy-efficient lighting. But the feature that truly empowers the homeowner is a monitoring system. It gives new meaning to the phrase "information is power." By showing exactly how much energy is being used and when, the system allows the homeowner to choose how to adjust his or her habits to reduce energy consumption."—Department of Energy
