Ecohouse

The Ecohouse proves that remodeling a standard house into being green is within the reach of any average urban neighborhood. It uses things like rainwater catchment for water efficiency, sewage recyclying to regenerate portable water, passive cooling by orienting the house correctly to the sun and the winds, green roofs and facades to absorb radiation, natural ventilation, and renewable energy by heating water through passive thermosiphon systems which do not require electrical water pumps.

Hi,

I wondered if you might be interested in a bit of content. I publish an eco-house map here: http://naturalhomes.org/homesmap.htm and I make a version available for bloggers to include in their websites. You can get iFrame code for the different versions here http://naturalhomes.org/naturalhomesmap.htm You can also include the LIST version of the map in a blog. Here is the list used to display straw bale homes http://naturalhomes.org/ecohouselist.htm?strawbale

I'm currently running a survey during October which you could include if you like. Once a person has voted the results are displayed. You can see it on my blog here http://ecooliver.blogspot.com/

The iFrame code is available here http://naturalhomes.org/naturalhomesvote.htm

Hope it's interesting...

Regards, Oliver
