Earthships are primarily designed to work as autonomous buildings using thermal mass construction and natural cross ventilation assisted by thermal draught (Stack effect) to regulate indoor temperature. These are generally off-the-grid homes, minimizing their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels. Earthships are built to utilize the available local resources, especially energy from the sun. In this age of increased garbage accumulation, it is essential to reduce the waste clutter and earthships are an ideal option. This paper discusses the construction aspects, merits and demerits of earthships.
WHO WE ARE: An active group of volunteers who promote and develop Earth-friendly and people-friendly community living concepts in Seattle and in the Northwest.
WHAT WE DO: We gather information about how to adapt the Earthship concept to Washington, how to go through the permitting process, and where to find skilled Earthship builders.
OUR VISION:
URBAN EARTHSHIP PROJECT
Build a Stunning and Livable Visitor Center
Establish Viability in Permitting in Seattle
EXCEPTIONAL HOMELESS SHELTERS
Permanent off-grid shelters and help centers for the growing homeless population.
EDUCATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Hands-on experiences in the theory and practice of Earthship construction and permaculture, furthering development of these technologies.
An earthship is a type of passive solar house constructed from recycled materials like rammed earth, tires, and bottles. Michael Reynolds founded Earthship Biotecture and designed the first earthship, called the Thumb House. Earthships are constructed using rammed earth encased in steel-belted tires or aluminum cans/glass bottles as primary building blocks. They utilize passive solar heating and cooling and collect rainwater and solar power for off-grid living. One example is Karuna, an earthship home in Kodaikanal, India that is fully self-sufficient with no additional heating or cooling needs.
This document discusses creation care and caring for the environment from a Christian perspective. It provides background on the rapid environmental changes over the last 50 years to meet growing population and economic demands. It discusses how creation care calls us to leave the world at least as good as we found it and to treat our neighbors, including future generations, according to the Golden Rule. It introduces Creation Care's mission to serve God by caring for creation and shares quotes from religious texts about honoring God's creation.

BedZed is a sustainable housing development in London that achieved significant reductions in energy, transport, water, and waste impacts. It features on-site renewable energy generation, a car sharing club to reduce individual car use, and community gardens to grow organic food locally. Residents reported an improved quality of life with flexible living spaces and a strong sense of community, knowing many neighbors by name on average. Key facts show the development achieved an 81% reduction in energy use for heating, a 45% reduction in electricity use, and a 64% reduction in car mileage per resident compared to typical lifestyles.
This document lists various natural building projects located across the United Kingdom, Austria, New Zealand, and thanks several individuals. The projects include Ourganics and Pure Genius Protest in the UK, Steward Community Woodland in Devon, Tinker's Bubble in Somerset, Five Penny Farm in Dorset, a chalet in Austria, Rainbow Valley Farm in New Zealand, Earthship in Brighton, and BedZed in London. The document also thanks several people.
An earthship is a type of passive solar house made of natural and recycled materials. Designed and marketed by Earthship Biotecture of Taos, New Mexico, the homes are primarily constructed to work as autonomous buildings and are generally made of earth-filled tires, using thermal mass construction to naturally regulate indoor temperature.
This document provides an overview of passive solar design principles for homes. It discusses 14 principles, including orienting the home towards the sun, incorporating sufficient thermal mass, insulating the building envelope, and using landscaping and overhangs for shading. The document explains how passive solar design can significantly reduce energy costs while improving comfort. It also presents examples of passive solar strategies used historically and provides a hypothetical modeling comparison showing energy savings from applying passive solar measures.
