At 2800+ square feet of space, each home will be capable of generating the same amount of energy as they use, which would save the future homeowners some thousands of dollars per year in utility bills. The homes will cost approximately five percent more to build than a conventional house, but a federal tax credit of 20 to 30 percent of the sale price\u2014estimated at around $700,000\u2014will lower the acquisition costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Work has already begun on clearing the site for development; a ground breaking ceremony has been scheduled for late August.
