I'm in the process of building a 2700 sq. ft. home on Lake Wedowee and have been doing some research on building a "green" home. I've looked into solar and have found the cost to be prohibitive currently. What I've decided on is geothermal for heat and AC. The cost of a geothermal system is about $8000-$10000 more than a top of the line heat pump system. The other item of interest for me is automation. Using automation options I can have control over lighting and HVAC remotely. This will allow me to check on the house from anywhere over the Internet.

Other options include catching rain water for using in watering and recycling grey water. I think both of these would add cost with little return for a vacation home.
