"The Team Alberta house is designed in the rustic image of Western Canada on the outside, with "post and beam timber frame" construction, and high-tech on the inside, with nearly all systems—heating, cooling, lighting, and even entertainment—operated by a programmable logic controller. Team member Mike Gestwick says the system, which is designed to be flexible and responsive, "allows us incredible control."
"The home is separated by a keyway into public and private areas and seems to work an amazing amount of space for various activities into each."—Department of Energy
