What is the ideal house for me? Firstly, consider its location. If possible, it should be on the border with a forest and a river. The sun must shine on it most of the time. Wood should be the material of construction, and it should feature large windows. Of course, there should be external and internal blinds. To become a completely passive house, there must be a minimum 15-kilowatt solar system on the roof or in the yard plus a battery for energy storage. This energy should independently supply all electrical consumers in the house. The house should have a heating and cooling system using a heat pump. The water for the house should be from a well. A direct connection between the well and the home system is required. The house should have at least 2000 square meters of land. In 1,000 square meters, if possible, plant various fruit-bearing trees. Five hundred square meters is enough for vegetables and a small greenhouse. A small home fishpond requires one hundred square meters. You can milk and let two sheep graze at the orchards. There are several hives where honeybees can be found. We keep a few hens to produce eggs. To produce additional food, inject a few logs with mushroom mycelium. Distribute the vegetable garden so that harvesting herbs and spices is also a possibility. You can sell the winter food you've prepared using the majority of the fruit or vegetable harvest and use the proceeds to pay for other necessities. Some items, such as salt or sugar, are beyond your own production capabilities. You incur expenses for clothing or necessities you require. A passive house can reduce your energy costs by up to ninety percent. If such a house is not a dream, then everything else is a luxury and already enters the column of greed. Perhaps in my fourth book, I describe something similar and give an example of a family that supports itself through self-sufficiency without external employment.
