Buildings
Building Sustainably is one of the best ways we can work towards a sustainable future.
Technology like solar and heat pumps contribute significantly to a lower carbon footprint.
Building a house partially or completely underground is also a great way to reduce heating and cooling bills. The greatest challenge to building subterranean housing is bringing light into the building. Southward facing hillsides with one glass wall is the focus of one of our building designs.
Building in wood is also quite sustainable, providing that the forest is kept being replanted. Prefab Log cabins is a great way of building a sustainable home, that does not require any finish on the inside or the outside of the building. Once its up, its done.
