Re: How you design an off-grid home to deal with extreme heat

[Anonymous]

I wouldn’t count out earthips and earth bermed building. The reasonings are great. First off, it will be easier to heat and cool, but everything has to be built correctly or things turn into a train wreck. But built correctly, they typically require less mainenance, less energy, keep a more steady temperature year round, are safer as well as preserve more of your yard to be put to better usage.

Eventually I plan to build an small earth bermed home on on my largest pasture to retire into once the kids are out of the house..
