Organicbuilding = Using Solid Wood Walls made from fast growing renewable plantation softwood to make warm, dry, healthy buildings with negative CO2 emissions.
The following rules are needed to guarantee maximum health for building occupants and the planet.
- The walls are able to breathe, so no vapour barriers, or vapour proof paints are used.
- The negative CO2 emissions from the wood is greater than the emissions of all other materials in the structure of the building.
- Fast growing softwoods are replanted on the same, or equivalent site, after harvest to continue absorbing CO2 rapidly from the atmosphere.
