New to the pre-fab marketplace is a modern eco-friendly home priced under $100K.  The “i-house”, by Clayton Homes, features flexible open floorplans; highly insulated walls, floors and roofing; energy efficient windows, water-conserving toilets, and a butterfly roof that optimizes rainwater collection.

I like the fact that when this innovative home is configured in an “i” shape, with the core of the house in a long, straight layout, it can be situated on a site to take advantage of passive solar energy and prevailing winds to further reduce energy consumption.
