Built by a local nonprofit group with the help of a grant from the City, Mi Tierra are the first 2 of 13 eco-friendly homes for low- to moderate-income families. The homes range in size from 1,200 to 1,800 square feet. Mi Tierra homes have energy-saving features, including walls with spray-foam insulation to reduce heat and cooling costs and heating and cooling systems that use geothermal technology. The systems work by using circulating water from the earth to heat and cool the homes. The houses also will have energy-efficient windows and roofing. The green features will save their future homeowners up to 50 percent on their monthly energy bills.
