Passive solar is way underutilized IMHO. Use a thick concrete slab, hydronic tubes, and south facing windows. I have 1/4 the winter heat bill of comparable structures using just this approach. In the summer around here you can do cooling the same way, by dumping heat at night through an external heat exchanger. If I added some roof mounted solar heating panels, I could come very close to zero heating & cooling cost. If I did it again, I'd use concrete walls as well, and tubes in them.
