Twelve Rules of Energy Efficient Building

Interesting piece by Scott Adams regarding energy-efficient building techniques.  Noted mostly for future reference, but I’ve found it interesting to follow along as he’s been working on getting this house built (for ~5 years now, I think).  The builders generally have no incentive to put time & effort into making a new home energy-efficient, because that makes it more expensive up front, which goes against the builder’s goal, which is to sell the house.  So it’s not just a matter of having to pay more for an energy-efficient house; it’s hard to figure out how to design that way in the first place, since most builders don’t really know much about it.
