ABSTRACT
Everyone has their own idea of a dream house. From a pole roundhouse to a straw-bale mansion, from a cob cottage to a Passivhaus terrace, there are any number of possible styles and construction methods. Then there are workshops and outbuildings to construct…
The One Planet Life doesn’t prescribe what your buildings should look like or how they should be built. You can design them however you like as long as they meet building regulations and are zero carbon over their lifetime; it’s not about appearance but performance. This is mainly to do with:
• how comfortable and healthy it is to live in; • how eco-friendly it is; and • how much energy it uses in its materials, construction, lifetime and
eventual demolition.
