Tankless Water Heater
The on demand water heater uses gas to heat up water in the winter if the solar does not reach 110 degrees.

Water Conservation
The Ecohouse residents work hard to conserve water both by using water conservation systems and through lifestyle choices. The dishwasher’s energystar rating is rated as being so efficient that it is off the energystar scale, and it is smaller than a standard dishwasher so it is more likely that it is full when it is in use.

The shower is equipped with a low-flow high-pressure showerhead that greatly reduces the amount of water consumed from showering.

Another conservation tactic residents of the Ecohouse use is the collection of rainwater for use in their organic garden.
