Cappy, re "the house of the future" etc., it's painful to see how little use is made of the properties of some modern materials. Most architects/builders just go for the minimum materials and methods that the public will swallow so they can pocket the biggest profits.
The business about arranging the house to take advantage of the sun's energy goes straight out the window as soon as you get the old "executive development" type phrases appearing in the sales brochures. Most dummies are more interested in how the pals will be impressed rather than how little energy will be consumed and how comfortable the house will be.
