Company Pays You To Live Rent Free In Smart House 8
An anonymous reader writes "Save the planet by blogging. EnergyAustralia and Sydney Water have opened a tender for a family to live rent-free for a year in an energy-efficient house to be built in a 'smart village' in Sydney's west. Smart Village houses are equipped with in-house displays driven by home-area networks connected to the utility's smart grid that has sensors at sub-stations and elsewhere on the network to manage power use. 'The home will provide a real-life laboratory, integrated with the intelligent electricity grid, for testing products that will help minimize energy and water use and greenhouse gas emissions,' EnergyAustralia said."

Talk about futuristic. I'd actually pay to live in a house like this - I am assuming that they have done their homework and things more or less already work, since they're giving it media attention and all.
If only this was near where I live.

For some reason this looks a lot like the House of the Future from Disneyland in the 1960's.
