We would like to experiment with some kind of eco-building
here in this 'Tropical rain forest'. What kind of eco-
building techniques do you suggest that we look into?
Answer / guest
It isn't so necessary to focus on insulated structures as
the only appropriate mode, so that creates more
options.bamboo, stone, cordwood, and earthbags might be
good choicesIt would depend on the water table and
susceptability to flooding whether underground or earth-
sheltered designs would work.

I am building a house in Iowa by the strict requirements and dimensionality of Sthapatya-ved. As you probably know, these dimensions are specific to certain harmonic structures generated by the architectural style and my astologic chart. The outer walls will be approximately 10.5 inches thick. I would like to use some sort of straw/clay mixture, but I also live in a very cold climate. It is not unusual to have -10 degree temperatures for several weeks on end. I have friends who built with rammed earth and their environment is miserable during winter, always fighting the fly-wheeling of energy in the earth structure. Can you shed any light on the true insulation value of a straw clay mixture in this climate.
