Since the builder was also the owner, a lot of the labor and material costs are likely to be skewed from what they would have been for a straightforward project being built for a third-party  client.  Also,  as mentioned in the article, there were some strategies they experimented with as part of the process, so that, too, would alter the results.

This is a topic that many people are interested in, and we'll try to gather more information that can help give you some ideas.  But there are many variables, and it is hard to have good general answers to what is, in effect, a very specific question.

I've read several articles just today about various green homes and none of them report the cost or at least a ballpark figure of the cost. I wish all publications would put the cost in the article. I'm interested in building a green home and I would like some idea of what I can get for my money. R I may have missed it but I didn’t see the cost of this house?
