The Artisans Group has built a home in the United States that is extremely energy efficient, to the point where in the winter the interior will stay warm with almost no energy needed. In fact, it will take "less energy than it takes to run a hair dryer," according to DesignBoom.
This feat is achieved through a few different techniques, but the main one involves utmost attention to insulation throughout. Since most of the house is air-tight allowing the warm air to stay trapped inside, only minimal heating is needed for a short period of time.
The home was built for a smaller family, who clearly are doing their best to reduce their impact on the environment through living in this abode.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Energy-efficient Homes
- There is an opportunity for builders to innovate and offer homes that are extremely energy-efficient, saving homeowners money on energy bills and reducing their carbon footprint.
- Extreme Insulation Techniques
- Innovations in insulation techniques can significantly improve energy efficiency in buildings, and there is potential to create new, more effective methods.
- Sustainable Living
- Consumers are increasingly interested in reducing their environmental impact, creating opportunities for businesses to offer sustainable solutions that meet this demand.
Sectors Adopting This
- Construction
- The construction industry has the opportunity to develop new techniques and materials to create extremely energy-efficient buildings, reducing costs for homeowners and decreasing the environmental impact of buildings.
- Home Appliances
- As homes become increasingly energy-efficient, the home appliance industry has the opportunity to innovate and offer appliances that require less energy, potentially reducing energy usage even further.
- Renewable Energy
- The renewable energy industry can benefit from the trend towards energy-efficient homes, as homeowners may be more likely to adopt renewable energy solutions to power their homes.
