So what do you want to be called?
he1ixx, I appreciate the write ups about your housing plan. My wife and I rent, which isn't likely to change for a while yet, but we're both in agreement about wanting a net-zero home when we finally decide to settle someplace for more than 2-3 years.

When you were looking for architects, did you have to find someone who specialized in net-zero design, or are most architects going to be familiar with the concept?

I'm with the person upthread who suggested an agricultural-style greenhouse. You could still build your cabin inside, but my assumption is that you would probably get more usable space out of it. Alternatively, you could get away with a smaller greenhouse that butts up against your cabin. Still gives your dog the front yard vibe.
