Find one that specializes in LEED certified design and they will design you a home that saves enough energy to more than pay for their services and the energy saving systems themselves. There is a very large body of knowledge involved in successfully accomplishing the goal you seem to have, and the fact that you are asking for ideas on an internet forum like this suggests you are probably closer to the beginning of the job of learning than the end.
Get professional help, you'll not regret it.
