   I don’t know if I can think of enough to make 20…but let’s try.

   Windows only on south and east sides of house. Windows should be tinted and have some sort of awning on them. Tint and awning will keep summer sun out( less cooling needed) and let in winter sun(heat).
   Sky lights with the ability to cover them from the inside with some sort of sliding panel. Lets in light (less electricity) when closed holds in heat or cool depending on time of the year.
   Plumbing from house (except toilet) piped to yard for watering.
   Build the house itself into the side of a hill or back-fill around house (berm House).
   Plant large non evergreen tress on the south and west side of house.
   Build the house out of adobe bricks with hay insulation.
   Low flush toilets and low flow faucets.
   Tankless water heater.
   Well that’s all I can think of right now. We are closer to 20. I’m sure there will be other answers and you will get your 20.
   Good Luck
