The house
Aaron and Jeannie bought an old house, started to restore and explain everything on their blog. « (…) if PA can build a house ON THE PRAIRIE from NOTHING, than we can restore this house. » [x]
Their option to make lemonade out of (…) lemons lead to self induced BB fame.
They also keep a day-to-day restoration diary,the web version of a home design scrapbook and lots of reviews, including home wiring.
More on wiring in this thread (feathured links: smarthome.com, mavromatic.com, swhowto.com, 9thtee.com).
Bob Catanzarite wired his house. He learned a lot and posted a comprehensive survey of his findings on a sepcialized site called Structured wiring HowTo. How nice. Bos points to a site called « Low Voltage Home Pre-Wire Guide Installation Information for the Do-it-Yourselfer« , wich could prove interesting (also in .pdf!).

wayback
I always wanted to see Mena Trott’s dollarshort design. Thanks to Carrie Bickner (aka Mrs Z.), who gave me the idea in her nice WP colophon, I checked the waybackmachine.
It is not my favorite page (the one I was looking for had lots of those nice-looking pictures), but nevertheless, here is a sample of a day late and a :: dollarshort’s 2001/2002 design (and there is early 2001!).
And here is 2001 Soours. Pouah!
ALA 4.0
The design was conceived visually, as pencil sketches followed by Illustrator and Photoshop comps in an iterative process that lasted about two months. If you can’t tell by looking at the design that it is a carefully considered visual experience, view source. Nobody would write such markup and CSS unless unless they were working to deliver detailed page designs

Puissance installée plutôt que m²
Passer du m2 au MW. L’ idée circulait depuis un moment dans les couloirs de l’ Agence internationale de l’ énergie (AIE). Mesurée en mètre carré, le solaire thermique a l’ inconvénient de ne pouvoir être facilement comparée aux autres sources d’ énergie mesurées en puissance. Une particularité qui explique parfois l’ absence de la filière dans les statistiques énergétiques. L’ AIE a donc demandé à un panel d’ experts de traduire les m2 thermique en puissance de pointe. Ils ont opté pour la règle suivante : 1 m2 = 700 Watt thermique, quel que soit le type de capteur. L’ Estif (fédération européenne de l’ industrie solaire thermique) ainsi que des associations professionnelles nationales de la filière (Autriche, Allemagne, Hollande, Suède, Canada et États-Unis) ont validé cette équivalence. Cette simplification, un peu arbitraire, ne suscite pas l’ enthousiasme en France, au contraire. Elle permet pourtant d’ estimer, selon l’ AIE, que la puissance installée en solaire thermique mondiale est de 69 320 MW, de 1 100 MW pour le photovoltaïque et de 23 000 MW pour l’ éolien (chiffres 2003).
