There's an Obscure Jim Otto Joke in Here Somewhere

Lightweight “triple-zero” house produces more energy than it uses

Built in 2000, it was the first in a series of buildings that are “triple-zero,” a concept developed by German architect and engineer Werner Sobek, which signifies that the building is energy self-sufficient (zero energy consumed), produces zero emissions, and is made entirely of recyclable materials (zero waste).

(Jim Otto. I’m guessing he wasn’t zero-emission.)
