The size of the house reduces heating and cooling costs, they can be completely powered by solar panels at a fraction of the cost to power a traditional home with solar energy, and there are even incinerating toilets that help reduce water consumption. Through the proper application of green technology it would be possible to live net-zero and completely off the grid in a tiny home.
