What building techniques does an Ecohouse incorporate?
An Ecohouse is most commonly a timber frame construction using FSC I studs, recycled newspaper insulation, external woodfibre sarking boards, internal OSB vapour control layer, woodfibre filled service cavities, local timber cladding of lime based render finish. The base typically consists of a highly insulated concrete slab with a high recycled cement and aggregate content, optimum perimeter insulation and reverse insulation to make the most of its thermal mass.
