What are some BuildingCircles choices for materials?
• BuildingCircles will use spray technology (hemcrete or similar renewable material with concrete) over recycled steel to construct unusually strong ferrocement structures. • Additionally, sustainable insulative material will be sprayed over the shotcrete. • LED lighting (for safer, long-lasting light bulbs), increasingly more affordable (see the op-ed,”A Brighter Future Minus the Mercury”). The homes will be nature-integrated, restoring much of the footprint of each building to the ecosystem. These houses will result in durable, vermin- and fire-resistant structures, capable of supporting living roofs and requiring minimal external energy supply.
