Tech entrepreneur Matt Luthi applied precision, research, and problem-solving to design and build his own 10-star energy-rated home—completing the entire project as an owner-builder in just six months. By optimizing materials, sourcing high-performance components, and controlling costs, he reduced the budget from $608K to $340K. The result? A cutting-edge, self-sufficient home that requires almost no heating or cooling and sells excess power back to the grid. A testament to how innovation and strategic execution can reshape sustainable living.
