In October 2007, EcoHouse’s constructed wetland and graywater hybrid design became the first to pass code in the state of California, and became the first permitted, residential greywater system approved by the City of Berkeley. Ecohouse has solar panels, an on-demand water heater, water-saving fixtures, natural and recycled building materials, natural linoleum floors, salvaged kitchen cabinets, bamboo kitchen countertops, a graywater and wetland system, a rainwater cistern, a strawbale and rammed earth shed, a living roof vegetable garden, an organic permaculture garden, native drought tolerant plants, mushrooms, and more!
