This project involves soy based insulation spray foam for the insulation. The using of recycled materials such as reclaimed Douglas Fir woods from nearby damaged fire building for the interior, cement from fly ash, reclaimed copper for the roof, etc, can make this project greener.

This sustainable house design is also completed with the uses of several green products such as the using of axial wind turbine to produce electricity, completed with some solar panels. For the lighting, this house uses cold-cathode lighting which is more efficient than LED and does not contain mercury. In its roof, there is a green roof system, used for rain water collector. All paints and sealer are VOC-free. Triple-panel windows are used to provide better insulation and to maximize the natural lighting. In this purpose too, the roof was sloped  in such way to control the sunlight and heat. This house also has motorized front blinds connected with thermostat to control the sunlight exposure through the house.
