We don’t currently have plans we can offer unfortunately. There are Passive House and LEED certified prefab kit homes available that may meet your needs, other than that we would recommend you look through our building guide pages to learn high performance building techniques.
An ‘Eco Home’ could take many different forms, but they would share a few common threads. You could therefore look at home plans online for inspiration, then once you have a general design you find appealing, you could then green home building techniques to that design.

In general, smaller homes use less resources and less energy than large ones, so the smaller you can build the better.
