Woz Details His Plans for Energy-Efficient House

An anonymous reader writes "ECN magazine has posted a long interview with the Woz on his new passion: energy-efficient housing. 'ECN: In PC World, you said, "It's like the way I used to make computers" -- how so? Woz: Simple design. Think about the right way to build something and take a lot of time to get it the best that can be done with the fewest resources used. No waste. Build it right and with few parts it does a lot. Don't cover things with more and more and more technology for features. Design them in from the start. It starts with the architect, of a home or a computer, working from a knowledge of the building materials and a desire to choose wisely.'"

  1. Santa Clara Architect/Developer for Off Grid? by Resident+Netizen · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hi Slashdotters!
    I'm looking to build on property in the north-east corner of Santa Clara County (CA) and would love to find an architect that knows the area and is also familiar with off-grid requirements and rural (AR) projects.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks in advance!
