anyone else bothered by an 4,900 sf house w/ little regard to solar gain/orientation is considered 'sustainable'? thanks, USGBC... thanks.
This wasn't my favorite, but there is the giraffe.
no holz.box, no one else is bothered by the lack of solar orientation. more than likely the Dream House will be sited within an already air-conditioned environment that is a girl/boy's bedroom. solar heat gain should not be an issue, and the house's solar orientation is likely to change multiple times through its lifespan.
remember that barbie isn't real and her house is about a foot and half tall.
Also that cantilever would require the harvesting of so much virgin steel. Not sustainable, and not at all appropriate when Barbie herself, obviously isn't a virgin.
