I don't see where the calculation takes account of the carbon involved in manufacturing and transporting all the materials (copper wire, cement, etc.) and in the construction process itself. There are lots of so-called "green" projects around these days that skew the calculations by not taking account of all the factors. Apart from that these houses just look dire and are presumably built on cheap city-edge land, requiring all the residents will need to use their cars to get around. And what about all the carbon involved in building the infrastructure - roads, sewers, etc.?
