CEB and Other Videos

Here is a link to show the educational portions of what we can do in reaching out to the community no matter the country. http://www.nais.org/resources/isprogram.cfm?ItemNumber=147259  Here is a link to another designer of CEB construction. By following the blog links you can gather the input these structures will have on our future http://www.jeffvail.net/2007/04/mefab-open-architecture-project.html  Addtional link for not only compressed earth block but straw bale construction http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/glossary_-_material___construction.pdf  As you can see by the belkow link, CEB or sustainable does not mean a "MUD" hut as some would think in terms of the word "Compressed Earth Block" I would not mind living in one of these structures, would you? http://files.harc.edu/Projects/CultivateGreen/Events/20050622/CultivatingGreenHomes.pdf  How about looking at some video clips about these types of structures? Do you have the time? Well it is well worth your investment of a few minutes to look at these at least. I hope you have an open mind to see what is being done with hydro-electric units, composting, geothermal and water deslination. On this site is a myriad of video clips which you can use for your projects. http://wiki.edc-cu.org/blogs/index.php/videos/2007/12/  Compressed Earth Block video clips http://www.edc-cu.org/ceb.htm http://www.earth-auroville.com/index.php?nav=menu&pg=technologies&id1=9 http://www.youtube.com/marcinose http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJf8cJjmA7M http://libdaref1.net/12440/ http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2005_May_25/ai_n13778620 http://designbuildlive.org/newsletters/2008March.pdf http://www.halfvalue.com/searchResultsVideos.jsp?kw=ceb Great links and ideas for CEB#2 Please review this very first one so you might see some great definitions about GREEN building rather than Sustainable Building, there is a difference in saying these words and it bears worth reading.
