Welcome
to EarthShelterNews.com.
Earth Shelter News is an electronic
newsletter that brings you information and news about earth-sheltered
houses, earth-sheltered living, alternative energy systems for your home and
much, much more.
Although
earth-sheltered houses are perceived as dark, damp caves, they’re not. Current
construction techniques deliver bright, open-plan, domed-ceiling, leak-free
homes, at prices comparable
to similar-sized,
stick-built homes. The major difference is that earth-sheltered homes are safer,
cleaner and much more energy efficient.
The goal of Earth
Shelter News is to provide information and education on the beauty and
practicality of earth-sheltered homes.
Earth Shelter News
brings you information on builders, construction methods, financing,
insurance, alternative energy (including solar, wind, micro-hydro and fuel
cells), government incentives, water purification systems, greywater systems,
on-site sewage treatment, air handling systems, geo-thermal heating and cooling,
security systems, building codes, profiles on earth-sheltered home owners and
more.
This is an exciting time
for anyone interested in earth-sheltered housing. The efforts of the pioneers
in this field are starting to pay off for the rest of us. A group of competent
builders is on board, financing is becoming more readily available, insurance
companies are understanding the indestructible nature of the concrete structures
and building codes can be dealt with, with a little planning.
If
you have any comments about the newsletter or suggestions about things
you'd like to know more about, please send an email to: editor@earthshelternews.com.
Thanks
for coming. Enjoy your visit and come back soon.
