Description: Frustrated with complicated and restrictive green - building certification programs and the under - enforced building code a group of architects and builders in Portland Maine came up with the idea of the Pretty Good House. What they asked should you include in a house that does right for its inhabitants and the planet but that does not go beyond reasonable environmental or financial payback? In a nutshell a Pretty Good House is a house that's as small as possible (remember The Not So Big House?); it is simple and durable but also well designed; it uses wood and plant - derived products as construction materials; it includes photovoltaic panels or is PV - ready; it should be insulated and air - sealed well enough that heating and cooling systems can be minimal and above all it is affordable healthy responsible and resilient.
