A ton of people up here in PDX are switching to the radiant floor heating, which uses the natural gas water heater for double duty: hot water for the house, and as the radiant heat source. Then you can completely eliminate the forced air heater. If it's a brand new house, you eliminate the cost of the ducting as well as the furnace. The same folks also typically design higher thermal mass into the structure, to avoid the need for summer cooling. Not too hard to do here in Portland of course. As we all know on this thread, the cost of energy may become a much bigger issue in the not-too-distant future... BC
