Sustainable building:
needs sustainable materials like rammed earth. Using the earth on your
site reduces co2 emissions for building materials and transport.
Earth construction:
has been used for
sustainable buildings and homes for a long time and now its getting a
lot of attention. New
earth building standards and codes are making it easier to
understand and use.
Earth building national organisations are setting up and
collaborating to help make the material at your feet into safe and
affordable
earth construction. |
