An 18 panel solar array on the roof of the provides all the power needed for its operation.
The building is miles out in the shifting dunes in the White Sands National Monument. Water is hauled in and stored in an onsite tank. The same for propane used for heating. But how do you cool the building. By a swamp cooler powered by the sun. When you have the sun in abundance, use the sun.
