peer agreement (net): +6shell Explanation: http://www.buildingtalk.com/news/ntu/ntu130.html Ziegel Building Blocks, from ecological building materials specialist Natural Building Technologies, are a thin joint system that creates solid, load bearing walls that easily surpass the latest building regulations. They are robust, a shell can be built in under half the conventional time, and they are environmentally 'green' with excellent thermal and acoustic performance for both external and internal solid walls. The system has been approved as a modern method of construction by the Housing Corporation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-12-15 09:03:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Shelter is the task of a house's exterior shell: the roofing, siding, windows, doors and related components that provide a barrier between indoors and outdoors. http://www.hometips.com/hyhw/shell/shell1.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2005-12-15 09:04:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With a small grant from DOE's Building Technologies Program, the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) will support the donation of a completed house shell that is earthquake, wind, and flood resistant as well as inexpensive. FAS, working in conjunction with an Alabama structural wall panel manufacturer, will donate a house shell made of structurally insulated panels (SIPs) to Habitat for Humanity. SIPs enable rapid enclosure (screw gun assembly with no crane) and minimize the finish materials needed. The use of SIPs in the rebuilding efforts could provide an affordable, energy-efficient, and durable solution and enable more rapid rebuilding. The donated shell will be used as a model for training programs. http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/disaster_recovery/dr_st... |
