"The Show-Me House consists of a single module that is 15 by 50 ft (4.6 by 15.3 m). It is capped by a hinged roof, which is roughly 14.5 ft ( 4.4 m) at its highest point. Structural insulated panels in both the roof and walls provide an impressive R-40 insulation value."
"The roof supports an 8-kW array of photovoltaic panels, which generate electricity for the house. Also atop the roof is an evacuated-tube solar water heating system for a variety of home uses, including radiant floor heating."
"The house itself is very open," says Andrew Adams, a civil engineering student at Missouri S&T. "From the entrance, you can see the kitchen, dining, and living rooms." Designers used natural wood and white walls to increase the feeling of interior space."—Department of Energy
