Building With Awareness:

The Construction of a Hybrid Home
DVD Video

"Building with Awareness" is possibly the most detailed and
comprehensive video available on the design and construction of a
sustainable straw bale home. This DVD is packed with green design and
construction techniques  from professionals working on the cutting edge
of sustainable home building. Building With Awareness follows the
design and construction of one house from start to finish. Learn how 
to construct post-and-beam straw bale walls, how interior adobe thermal
mass walls can improve efficiency, and how earth-plastering techniques
can create stunning wall finishes.  The video will give you a solid
understanding of green home design—the positioning of windows, why
certain materials were chosen, and how  to incorporate passive solar
heating and cooling. It also demonstrates how beautiful aesthetics and
energy efficiency can come from the same materials. Although the video
emphasizes the idea of building small, the  concepts can be scaled to
any size structure.

Beautifully photographed and edited, this award-winning video is an
invaluable resource for novice builders  and seasoned professionals
alike.

• rubble-trench foundations
• step-by-step straw bale building techniques
