How to use this site
Blog entries about our house building process are sorted into five categories:
- “Construction” for general interest “how is the building going?” type information,
- “Energy” for posts that are particularly concerned with energy calculations and energy savings
- “Strawbale” for the posts particular to straw bale construction details, and
- “Water” for water conservation and grey water posts
- “Sustainability” spans many subjects and includes many of the energy and water and strawbale posts, but also includes posts about sustainability of other materials
The Embodied energy calculations discussed in Catherine’s TED talk can be found on the Embodied Energy Blog post
