RE: EARTHSHIP: this is how I will design my future home

in #earthship • last year

Thanks for the post!
Resteemed & followed!

The earthships pictured are absolutely breathtaking! I will definitely read more about them.

One question though - are there any earthships designs for extra warm climates? I am quite curious as to how temperatures over 40 Celsius are managed if only one wall is dispersing the accumulated heat.

        This is a very good question! And I'm sorry to say that I don't currently know the answer, though I do know lots of eco folk in Indonesia who would. Am thinking the answer is probably a yes. If the house is built into the ground, the temperature should naturally be lower there. Though I am thinking that extra ventilation shafts are likely necessary to ensure decent air flow.

        A quick google took me to an entire Island in Indonesia where Earthships are being built. Quoting the article:

        "The building under construction is less than 20 degree Celsius inside, while the outdoor temperature is unbearable."

        So, there we have it!

              I'm definitely going to look into this since I am currently in Mexico with a few people who are looking at land and the climate here is on the more hot and humid side.

                    Very interesting!
                    A structure that self regulates indoors temperature is an ecological must have.
                    I trust that winters are easier to manage with a wood fireplace or something similar.
