Clayton Homes unveiled their green modular i-House at last week’s Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders meeting. With a focus on energy saving, the i-House is expected to be 30% more energy efficient than traditional homes. Monthly energy bills are expected to go south of $70. Or you could move into Silicon Valley where are monthly energy bills are less than that already.

Designed with a contemporary feel and featuring solar panels (if the orientation permits it) on a butterfly roof that gathers rainwater, the i-House comes with Ikea fixtures, dual-flush toilets, low-flow faucets, easily renewable bamboo flooring, recycled content decking material, Japanese-style climate control in each room and low E efficient windows.
As for prices – there are two versions of the i-House. One is smaller with only one bedroom and one bathroom, covering 723 sq ft and priced at $74,900, while the other one is larger covering some 1,023 sq ft with a structure that accommodates two bedrooms and a bathroom for $93,300. Now here is where we charge your $500K for a minuscule lot to put the house on thus defeating the purpose of having cheap energy prices.
And if anyone was wondering, we really like the clean sleek design and the modernish interior. Good news for the housing market eh? Great news for the green industry.
