Building a eco house with eco materials and energy

Eco housing is the thing of the future here is some info of what you can do to help save the earth.

  • How solar heating works is solar radiation is absorbed and converted into heat through a series of toughend glass cleared tubes.
  • Another way of heating is a ground source heat pump which pumps through air that slowly gets hotter as it is pushed through the pipe then gets pushed out a heat pump into your house.
  • Photovaltaics is advanced technology that is similar to solar panels but instead of turning it into heat it turns it into electricity. Cool right.
  • Collecting rain water into a tank and using it for gardening and household use. You may think it is stupid but you can put a filter on it so it is clean.
  • Double glazing and insulation do the same by keeping the heat in and keeping your power bill down.

What is happening to all the resources in the world they are going into buildings and most materials are being wasted. What we need is more Eco housing. Here is a little info about what Eco housing is.

  • Designing a house for the natural climate and making the house energy efficient by using solar panels and proper insulation.
  • A rainwater collector for household and garden use.
  • Using energy efficient building resources to cut back on waste.
  • Clustering buildings to create common space for growing veges and recreational spaces.
Remember always keep it green!!
