A Natural & Healthy House
is a combination of elements working together - a holistic approach: energy
efficient using solar passive design (situated and elements placed to take
advantage of nature's heat or cooling) and renewable sources of energy
such as solar and wind; the efficient use of space and
resources with like elements placed together; environmentally responsible
use of water and waste; and contains indoor plants to assist in air
purification.
This site discusses solar and wind power; alternative building methods such
as log, straw bale, adobe and rammed earth houses; indoor plants;
landscaping creating microclimates; site planning; sustainable community
development and architects resources; building fences and barns;
composting toilets; fireplaces; pure water, wastewater and grey water
alternatives.
The Country Kitchen and Frugal Lifestyle sections provide information on
the holistic approach to a healthy house, and a Natural Living Chat Room
is accessible via the Site Headings Index.
These elements and styles of natural efficient buildings all work together in providing a
sanctuary, an
environmentally responsible home or office that is healthy and harmonious
with its surroundings.
