Default Micro Efficient Homes

I saw on TV, builders making these micro efficient homes. The concept is to use technology used in RV and apply it to condos or town homes. Basically they use very little square footage, but use the space more efficiently. The homes are also designed to be super efficient. One home on TV only used $80 dollars all winter towards utilities (gas, electric). The buyer demographic for these homes are single people and single elderly people that don't need more then 800 sf and are looking for well designed homes and don't want to pay huge utility bills. I was just wondering what everybody thought of these homes.

I have heard of and lived in an efficency apartment. There is enough room for just a single person or a couple without children. However you will eventually grow tired of it and want more space. We were able to live there for at least a year or so and than moved. But for the elderly or singles these apartments maybe perfect for them. You don't have really large utility bills if I remember correctly. So, this is something that is already in effect, not very new or counting edge.

Energy efficiency is high on the agenda for most building firms these days and many of the DIY programmes tend to focus on this aspect a great deal. Especially on insulation and energy saving devices to make the home as efficient as possible.
