im planning on moving down too crestone as soon as possible and buy one of these houses and hopefully help the culture in a good strong way once i get there. i really love the enviorment and the culture from what i read and saw
This is really cool. I’m wondering what you do for airconditioning … ie. when it gets really hot?
Is there any literature you can point to about heating and cooling systems?
This new technology is used in Romania, Bulgaria, former Yugoslavia of 5000 years. If you come here, you see that there are some environmental technologies as just that much better. For example, walls made of earth, straw and horse dung, with a comparable strength of the mortar, or AAC(autoclaved aerated concrete)
Wtf farmers are burning their straw? They’re retarded if they do that…
LOL @ 03:26 “These houses really become a joyey”
Autos, Flugzeuge und viele weitere technische Geräte werden vor dem realen Einsatz auf ihre Fähigkeiten, Verhalten, Sicherheit etc. am Computer simuliert!
Mit der von uns entwickelten Software DK-Integral ist es möglich mit geringem Aufwand ein verlässliches Computermodell ihres Gebäudes zu erstellen und die Auswirkungen (Gebäudeklima, Innentemperatur, Heizenergieverbrauch, Rendite etc.) jeder Änderung an Gebäudehülle, Nutzung oder Technik vorher zu simulieren.
@IronHorsez88 The video above gives rise to realty of building green so it will be a new industry soon due to changing minds on the Energy front right now and current Economic times. People are just not aware of straw bale building but attention has been made on the front of using other methods of building homes.

Wishful Thinking. The dweebs that live in this country could care less about the environment. Oh well, don’t we wish that there was still good ol boys that didn’t want to destroy everything that they touched. I hope to be a green building specialist.
wow!!!
This type of video is the type of American spirit of Community that all Americans need now in looking to more of a green way of living. I bet out of this old discovery of using earth there will eventually became a market for builders and construction workers for these unique style buildings. People are so shadowed about yesterday subdivisions of the 90’s that they have not looked at saving money by building green.
“In 80 years there is will be no more oil left on the planet.” Link?
Strawbale houses are fire resistant. They are covered with either an earthen plaster, or a lime plaster with clay often added. Many home owners in the fire lands of California are now applying earthen plasters to their conventional homes to make them fire resistant, as well as more energy efficient. It turns out natural materials have abundant benefits. Of course! I can’t wait to get to Crestone.
This is really cool but I’m just wondering, wouldn’t the house be extremely flammable with all that hay? Especially if there is something wrong with the wiring (and it looks like the wiring is right against the hay bale).
How can I help build houses like this.
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE? NEAREST POSSIBLE? FRIDAY? BY THE? LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS? COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW? UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO? 5 VIDEOS? IN? 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE? SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO? SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS?? THIS ACTUALLY WORKS?
I like this video and admire the concept, but could do without the migraine inducing background music.
Maybe one main wall could be made of bales. Otherwise this would take up entirely too much livable space, and would require a much larger structure.
Use less wood – use stabilized mud blocks or bamboo instead – it is amazing what one can do with mud blocks and bamboo. Bamboo is a renewable resource and stabilized mud-blocks can come from the basement of your home.
I suppose you are technically correct, but it takes millions upon millions of years for oil to be formed from dead vegetation, unless of course you believe that the earth is only 10,000 years old.
They should use more straw on the interior walls. I saw alot of stick framing inside this house. They should push the envelope further. Try to use the least amount of wood as possible. IMO
It depends on how fast we use it and how fast the oil is created by nature. The oil fields in alaska and mexico are drying up. The production is slowly going down and has been for years.
I like the idea of a strawbale home with solar and
wind power,also water treatment systems of an earthship.
@Postitman64
Lol, yea we just gotta wait a couple million years before the carbon turns into oil.
lol our population is growing very fast and big. that why we need to stop it and cars,light,etc is a big waste of oil. nature cant produce enough oil for human use and it make carbon dioxide!
They sound very confident about when the recourses run out?
