Polish Center Building environmental technologies.
The presentation of various energy systems is the main goal of the foundation of the Polish Center for Construction Materials in environmental technologies Mniszkowie (woj.łódzkie).
The resort is to perform the functions of education and research.

In addition, the final stage of the creation of the World Museum of Construction Technology, presenting a cross section through the old, forgotten technologies, innovative and erecting buildings.
One aspect of the project is the development of the Polish conditions are very cheap construction technologies, which may be available to the average, "Smith", which houses cheap, durable and extremely economical to run, ideal technology for use - social housing.
Initiator of the project - the Foundation for Education and Development of Civil Society (FERSO) proposes the following types of buildings:
 
1. Earthship - zero energy house
2. Strawbale - straw bales
3. Earthbag - sacks of earth
4. Earth sheltered houses - Insulated Ground
1. Cordwood - wood & clay
2. Papercrete houses - from paper pulp
3. Adobe - clay bricks dried in the sun
4. Rammed earth - earth houses whisked
Other experimental materials
Earthship - a house with a tire and the ground
For their construction does not need any special knowledge or skills - one of the basic assumptions of this concept is the ability to independently bring this type of home by its future residents.

 

Earthshipy is passively heated, autonomous buildings constructed at low cost with locally available materials - including land - and waste. An important element of design are discarded automobile tires, each of which is filled with compacted soil. In addition, the walls of the old place aluminum cans, glass bottles or similar rubbish. Using them for construction use them directly without having to recycling, saving the one hand, the energy, on the other - on the building materials. The aesthetics of the building that does not suffer, because the waste is hidden under a thick layer of clay plaster. This design provides great thermal mass, which allows heating of the building only by solar energy, in virtually any climate. The rays of the sun, shining through the glass wall of the south wall and fall to the floor, warming it. The energy stored in the walls is given back during the night, which keeps the temperature inside the house a few degrees Celsius, even in winter.

The basic and fundamental of the benefits of living in earthshipie is not, in principle, any bills for water, sanitation, electricity - all the needs of such a home and its residents are satisfied by the surrounding nature, using only natural rainfall, wind and solar energy.
Water from rain and melting snow is collected from the surface of the entire roof to a special reservoir tank. Through a structured process of filtration is purified to a state of fitness for consumption. The house uses a triple loop the same water.

Wastewater from the washing machine, shower or sink is called gray water and sewage goes to the filter system, and then watered patch of plants growing in the south, the glass wall. Unused gray water is pumped into the reservoir as needed and used in toilets spłuczce. Thus producing the so-called. black water that goes into the tank from which it is filtered to the bedding placed outside the home. Beds of these are isolated from groundwater, so as to avoid contamination.

The most common combination used to obtain the current solar panels, a windmill and a battery pack. In most places in the world every day, or blows, or the sun shines. The energy extracted at these moments is stored in batteries and used during the day as needed. In places where there is access to a stream or river, you might want to consider connecting the turbine, because the flowing water can be very efficient and completely renewable source of electricity.

Earthship has many a lot of advantages: the relatively low construction costs, virtually no effect on the nature.

In Poland, after building the first Earthship, examining the construction of the Technical University of Lodz and the National Energy Conservation Agency, a representative of Earthship Biotecture in Poland to the Foundation for Education and Development of Civil Society.
