Introduction
Autonomous housing discribes the notion of making a house energy and water self sufficient. The part of food independence is usually not meant by it, probably because farming and civil engineering are too seperate from each other.
Generally this aim is feasible but there is a delicate relation between construction cost and lifestyle. The higher the demands on the house are the more costly it is. This is the status quo. It could be different if architects, engineer and house builders would know more about the possibilites and the current state of technology. It could also be different if the house builder would alterate his definition of lifestyle, or standard of living.
Examples
