They write whole books about this, but I'll hit a couple of my favorites. I've been building custom homes for about 10 years. Get everything in writing. Look into ICF for the foundation, or the whole house. Or, SIP panels are a great option. You'll spend a little extra to build the house, but the buy back from saved heating and cooling bills makes it well worth it. Remember, energy is not likely to get any cheaper in the future. SIP houses go up faster that conventional framing too. Stick framing is an antiquated system, that has stuck around just because "thats the way my daddy did it" new tecnology is the way to go in home building. Depending on your climate, consider solar for hot water and or heating. Lots of states have tax incentive programs. Spend the money for good doors and plumbing fixtures, but if top of the line lighting is not in the budget, light fixtures are easy enough to swap out later. Quality windows are good investiment... I'll stop there, so I can go get something done today.
