An example of a sustainable aquatic center

This came into my alerts recently:

High above Boulder and close to Nederland is a near zero home where people come to enjoy a massage or play and record music in Greg Ching’s home. His home offers tranquility through his Watsu aquatic therapy and it is almost exclusively running off renewable energy.

You can read the full article here.

And still more on Greg's own website: Aspen Meadows Aquatic Center

Both the article and the website are VERY informative with lots of ideas and links for anyone considering such an approach (hopefully all who are building or renovating).

For more technical details, the December 2006 issue of Home Power magazine goes into the pool house construction details. The article starts on page 86 - the digital back issue can be purchased on-line.
