Fungi and bacteria could be used to build homes one day, new study suggests | CNN Researchers in Montana say they have found a way to turn fungus into a brick, which could eventually offer a more sustainable cement alternative.

Getting closer to a viable alternative to concrete? Home “grown” would save a lot of money and tons of CO2.

Clear cutting protected forests to make up for the 30% of timber the US normally gets from Canada? This is NOT sustainable in any meaning of the word. The deranged lunatic is destroying everything.

Here is the full breakdown of the impacts on housing. 30% of our overall timber comes from Canada and a lot of gypsum and lime from Mexico. What an idiot. 🙄

How unbelievably stupid can you be? Was making sure you never have energy efficiency regulations and have to put even one inch of insulation on a building really worth it?

Itaca: a self-sufficient and eco-sustainable 3D printed house WASP unveils Itaca: a self-sufficient and eco-sustainable 3D printed house that makes use of the most advanced technologies in Space Economy.

I’m very curious to see the final result of this 3D printed eco-house currently under construction in Italy. The printed material is clay sourced from the building site supported by a wood structure.

I’m curious if anyone has had an experience with these homes. They wouldn’t fit on most sites in Luxembourg, and I doubt they would pass our building regulations. They also look very expensive. Anyone know them?

Many climate activists protest things such as flying, but the airline industry only produces 2% of global emissions. Compare that to the 37% coming from the building industry. Concrete production alone is 7-8%. Changing how we build can have a huge impact.

In Luxembourg, we will be required to report the embodied CO2 of the buildings we design in 2028. But there are still debates. Should we assume all of the carbon locked in the wood structure will be released at the end of the building’s life?
