Sonny & Cher...and WeatherTRAK?

Well, maybe not quite. But pretty close. A house in Encino owned by the duo in the 1960's was purchased and rehabbed by a local architect after being damaged by fire. While he was committed to restoring the house to its original look, he also wanted to make it as environmentally sustainable as possible. As part of that he:

...retrofitted the roof with 54 solar panels and fully insulated the house, which he also equipped with Low-E windows, a tank-less water heater and energy-efficient furnaces. The pool is solar-heated and its pump boasts a high-efficiency motor.

In the yard, low-water rotor sprinkler heads and a WeatherTrak irrigation system that schedules watering by satellite based on local weather conditions, contributes to the overall effectiveness of the green upgrades.

While possibly not quite a brush with fame, it's close enough for us.

We got you babe.
