The Montague Urban Homestead is a single-story, single-family detached dwelling of 1152 square feet, with three bedrooms and one bath.  It also has an attached insulated but unheated mudroom of 96 square feet. 

 

The home uses a combination of a very good thermal envelope, solar passive and active heating, solar water heating, and a photo voltaic powered heat pump. It's actually better than a zero-energy house, It actually generates significantly more energy than it uses.
