			<![CDATA[Is it meaningful in order to reduce the footprint, to build smaller houses in general. If you build a house with less space, the walls and roof space needed would decrease four times as much. I think its more efficient than building in solar power and this sort of stuff. <br />What do you think?]]>

			<![CDATA[sounds good in theory except for 3 things (maybe more!)<br />1.we live in a 'free' society<br />2.exposed area actually reduces relative to enclosed volume<br />3. we only actually need to save energy for about a third of the time, so whats the point of living in cramped conditions<br />surely the answer, as is so often the case, is to get the right balance of space to useability?]]>
