There are many ways to do this.
Lots of free info from the state you live in.
They will even provide free building plans.

One thing you can do is mass thermal heating. That would be having a southern exposure to the sun with a lot of windows. You would tile the floor and a solid wall like stone or block for the sun to warm.
