Basics

A Design Principle for Buildings, where not only is the house insulated, but it is Superinsulated
IE outside of intentional Heat Pumps etc it is somewhat "sealed" to heat fluctuations
Can drastically reduce the cost of running an HVAC system, although some complexity is added
Also necesitates somewhat complex building materials, that are effective, safe, and also hopefully eco-friendly:
- Mainly the Insulation materials used, and the double+ layer float glass windows
- HVAC system with heat exchangers, and other more efficient systems may be more complex, as they are not as "fully developed" (that's where OSE comes in obviously)
