Pioneers of Energy Efficiency

The World

Living on Earth’s Peter Thomson visits the home of Amory and Hunter Lovins, in the mountains outside Aspen, Colorado. The super-efficient, solar-powered house is also home to the Lovins’ Rocky Mountain Institute, a pioneer in energy policy and technologies. This is the first of an occasional series on environmental design and construction.
