Straw Bale Building, David A. Bainbridge
Straw Bale Building, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Straw bale building offers many advantages, high insulation value, thermal mass of interior plaster, resistance to fire, and low embodied resource cost. Super-insulation becomes possible at affordable prices with straw bales. Used with great success for both residential and commercial building projects.
Passive Solar Design, David A. Bainbridge
Passive Solar Design, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Passive solar architecture can provide heating, cooling, ventilation and daylighting by using the sun and microclimate resources. Building energy consumption can be cut 80-90% at no increase in building cost by using integrated design principles.
Alternative "More Efficient" Irrigation Systems, David A. Bainbridge
Alternative "More Efficient" Irrigation Systems, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Many traditional irrigation systems work well for ecological restoration projects. These demand responsive systems are very water efficient and robust and have proved themselves in the most extreme desert conditions.
