and has built his own home using the earthbag technique. He has adapted the concepts popularized by Nadir Khalili and his “superadobe” building, by filling the bags primarily with crushed volcanic rock. This creates insulated walls that are similar to strawbale, except that they are completely...
GWP stands for Global Warming Potential, and describes the greenhouse gas potential of a substance or a building. The GWP value of a building is calculated based on the construction materials used, the energy footprint and the building's useful life. The higher the GWP value, the more the b...
including the current crowd that demands only net zero buildings today and all electric buildings immediately in the name of climate change. But LEED was always much more than only about reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the current version of the new constriction rating system, of all LEED ...
