Earth Hands & Houses - Strawbale, earthbag and natural building courses Concevoir des plans de maisons individuelles - exemple de plan maison gratuit La maison autonome sans factures Qui n’a jamais rêvé de ne plus recevoir de factures, de s’affranchir du réseau électrique, de ne pas être raccordé à celui de l’eau ? Se sentir libre de tous ces fils à la patte et surtout faire beaucoup, beaucoup d’économies tout en contrôlant enfin sa consommation grâce à la prise de conscience de ses besoins réels. Allumer la lumière, c’est aussi facile qu’un clic sur un bouton, pourtant chez Christophe, dans sa chaleureuse petite maison au bord du Vidourle, c’est une autre histoire ! 4 panneaux solaires photovoltaïques assurent l’entière couverture de leurs besoins en électricité. Pour se contenter de si peu, il n’y a pas de secret, il faut consommer peu de courant. Résultat : La famille consomme moins que l’électricité produite par les trois panneaux solaires. Et quand il n’y a pas de soleil ou qu’il faut alimenter de gros outils (électro-portatif un peu gourmand etc …), il y a un groupe électrogène à diesel, qui tourne avec de l’huile de friture recyclée ! Dans la cuisine ?
L'alternative immobilière! Association Régionale d'Éco-construction du Sud-Ouest Earthbag House Plans Comfort In Any Climate Warmth If you want heat, you admit the sun. The sun heats the mass, the mass stores the heat and the insulation won't let it escape. The more mass, the more storage capacity. When there is no sun, the heat stored in the mass radiates into the space, for heat travels to the cooler direction. Coolness If you want coolness, you admit the cooler earth temperature and block the sun. Insulation & Thermal Mass In recent years humans have recognized the fact that insulation can help keep temperature in a shelter. Good insulation has millions of tiny air spaces. Dense mass both collects and stores temperature like a jar holds marbles. The people made shelter by assembling pieces one at a time. We are simply adapting our needs to the already existing activities of the planet. Why pipe water long distances from a centralized community water system, or from an expensive well that needs significant electrical power, depletes aquifers and lowers the water table, when water fall from the sky?

How A Pottery Water Wall Works Could the Pottery Water Wall be the answer to energy efficient building within arid, desert environments? A recent passive solar submission came from an architect/designer based in Dubai, UAE. Moustafa Anwar Moustafa is looking to combine the passive attributes of a Trombe or water wall and add convective air elements to increase comfort within buildings located in an arid, desert climate. Diagram of how a Trombe Wall in action. First, an explanation of the concepts he is building on. Here are other examples of Trombe walls being used in Zion National Park and a within a house. Living in an arid, hot desert environment that cools quickly in the evening, Moustafa came up with a theory that adds not only passive solar heat to warm the building throughout the colder night, but also adds ventilation and humidity to the equation. His answer is contained within the idea of a pottery water wall that was developed as an upgrade to the water wall. Pottery is a water permeable material. by Keya Lea
Farmer builds a house for just £150 using materials he found in skips... and the current tenant pays their rent in MILK Michael Buck used only natural materials or unwanted items to build 'cob house' at bottom of his gardenHe said he wanted to challenge the notion that paying for a house should take a lifetimeHe is now renting out the property to a worker on a neighouring farm, who pays for her lodgings in milk By David Wilkes for the Daily Mail Published: 11:32 GMT, 25 November 2013 | Updated: 02:06 GMT, 26 November 2013 It looks like something straight out of Middle Earth – and the story behind it is almost as fantastical. This cottage cost just £150 to build, using only natural or reclaimed materials, and is now rented out for a fee of fresh milk and cream. And with no mains electricity, gas or water, the bills don’t come to much either.

Darfield Earthship | Plans The rendered perspective is an image of the earthship buried in the ground. You can see berms at the back (north end) of the roof to channel collected water from the roof into the cisterns. The ducting to accomplish this collection is not shown. The two cylinders behind the earthship are the cisterns. (I am so excited!!) I will be updating the drawings on this page as I continue to update the building plans. This is the first draft of our earthship’s plan set! This plan set is unfinished but it does give an idea of the direction the plans are heading. The drawings are incomplete and not entirely consistent. Over the coming weeks I will be updating these plans as I finalize our plans for submission to our local building authority. Revisions Feb 17, 2009 Modified floorplan and foundation pages with new bathroom layout. Feb 19, 2009 Continued to update all pages. March 4, 2009 Submitted plan set to the Thompson Nicola Regional District Building Department.
