Audiences are placed in the middle of the action and behind the scenes, receiving firsthand knowledge of the engineering and technology that drives the house and the principles and methods of designing eco-friendly spaces. Environmentalist Philippe Cousteau Jr. appears in the film. Directed by Jason Scadron. Produced by Liv Violette and Jason Scadron.
