  1. Permaculture Approaches toThe Built Environment

  2. Bill Note on how to deliver this: Start with opening slides up to Cal-Earth Then show various youtubes on building alternatives Back to slides here Show

  3. Energy & Water Foundation Walls & Floors (Thermal Mass vs…… insulation) Roof Windows & Doors (Light) Carbon Footprint Lifespan Inspiration & Livability

  4. The Rubble Trench A favorite of Frank Lloyd Wright Dig trench 4 inches deeper than the frost line.

  5. Lining trench with landscaping fabric before backfilling minimizes silt washing into gravel.

  6. Tamp in 4 inches of washed gravel and set in perforated drain tile that slopes to one corner. Must gravity feed away from building.

  7. Creative alternative to plastic drain tile.

  8. Fill trench with clean gravel, tamping regularly for solid compaction.

  9. The stem wall or grad beam can be poured with reinforced concrete. This gets the build above grade and away from moisture.

  10. Earth bags can be used as well.

  11. Built from the soil immediately below and around it. Nader Khalili
