L'adjectif «écologique» est nettement le plus répandu. «Maison saine» (en anglais : «healthy house») est aussi attesté, et est employé par la SCHL (Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement), qui utilise aussi «maison écologique». Nous avons aussi trouvé «éco-logis», que nous rejetons, l'emploi du préfixe «éco-» étant abusif, et «maison environnementale» (en anglais : «envirohome»), que nous ne trouvons pas très heureux non plus. Les termes connexes suivants, qui sont en réalité des spécifiques, sont aussi employés : «maison éconergétique» (en anglais : «energy-sufficient»), terme correct; «maison durable» (pour l'anglais «sustainable»), terme douteux; «maison performante» (en anglais : «advanced house»), terme douteux. 4, record 4, French, - maison%20%C3%A9cologique
