This is President George W. Bush's "Texas White House" outside the
small town of Crawford....
The 4,000-square-foot house is a model of environmental rectitude.
Geothermal heat pumps located in a central closet circulate water
through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground where the temperature
is a constant 67 degrees; the water heats the house in the winter and
cools it in the summer. Systems such as the one in this "eco-friendly"
dwelling use about 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and
cooling systems utilize.
A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from
roof runs; wastewater from sinks, toilets and showers goes into
underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The
water from the cistern is used to irrigate the landscaping surrounding
the four-bedroom home. Plants and flowers native to the high prairie
area blend the structure into the surrounding ecosystem.
