"Ένας άλλος τύπος κτιρίου αναδύεται:.. Μια πραγματικότητα που θεραπεύει τα σημάδια της δικής της κατασκευής !Εξοικονομεί...
Χρησιμοποιεί το έδαφος ως μονωτικό κάλυμμα που προστατεύει αποτελεσματικά από τις ακραίες θερμοκρασίες, τον άνεμο, τη βροχή και τα ακραία καιρικά φαινόμενα.
Δεκαπέντε μέτρα κάτω από το έδαφος το έδαφος διατηρεί μια αρκετά σταθερή θερμοκρασία
Το καλοκαίρι, θα κρατήσει το σπίτι σας πολύ πιο δροσερό από ένα σπίτι πάνω από το έδαφος. Πολλά σπίτια ενσωματώνουν τα παθητικά ηλιακά σχέδια μειώνοντας ακόμη περισσότερο την ανάγκη για καύσιμα για θέρμανση ή ψύξη.
Looks like vertical placed logs are helping to support the berm on the right. "We do not have any heating on at all in the winter and the building still stays at 72 degrees. The light comes in through the full-length windows in winter but in the summer the sun’s heat does not penetrate so you stay cool" say the owners. www.publicarchitecture.co.uk
Earth sheltered home with conventional facade. Dig out a pond (raise fish or create a natural swim pond) and place the soil on the house. By Formworks. formworksbuilding.com
Earth sheltered home, as above. See the kit and plans at: earthshelter.com
The facade may accommodate any architectural styling of the home owners choosing. Here the structure is a bolted together skeletal steel system which is then sprayed with pressurized concrete, same process as a gunite swimming pool. formworksbuilding.com
This earth sheltered house, in the wilds of the Outer Hebrides, provides a perfect living environment for harsh weather. This home's support walls are constructed of PolarWall (polystyrene). polarwall.co.uk

Use an umbrella to insulate the surrounding soil and increase inner temperatures even more. An umbrella house or PAHS (Passive Annual Heat Storage) home works on the principle that Earth is an ideal thermal mass for storing heat over long time periods. Summer’s heat is absorbed out of the home into the surrounding dry earth, keeping it cool and comfortable. This heat reserve is then conducted back up into the home when winter temperatures prevail, heat is available even through an entire winter. To contain the heat, the heat should flow between the earth and the home, rather than the earth and the out-of-doors. Keeping the earth dry around the periphery of the home is necessary. The umbrella's sandwich of polystyrene insulation and polyethylene sheeting (about R-20) insulates a huge mass of surrounding dirt instead of just the house. The lower, inside portion of the home needs but minimal insulation. See John Hait’s book: Passive Annual Heat Storage, Improving the Design of Earth Shelters. earthshelters.com, norishouse.com
