Windows are triple glazed and doors triple stepped for optimum insulation. Hot water is made by natural convection roof panels through solar water heating.

Flat roof is covered in Sedum plants for ecological, insulative and drainage. All solar, heat exchange and water controls are easily accessed inside the house.<br />

Native people have mounted protests and blockades against logging concessions, many have been arrested and imprisoned.

  • Eric and Ikuko's ultra-low-energy home. In Japanese style all shoes are left on the wooden interior porch. The floors are concrete with resin varnish.<br />
<br />
A "Maison Passive", Les Yvelines, near Paris, France. Home of Eric and Ikuko Lente and their children Anakin and Yulis. Only need ten small sacks of wood to help heat the house over a whole winter period, otherwise the house is heated by the sun's rays through the windows, and is virtually self-sufficient. Windows are triple glazed and doors triple stepped for optimum insulation. Hot water is made by natural convection roof panels through solar water heating. The house uses so little energy that the family sells electricity from solar panels€2000 to the grid. The house is entirely insulated and covered in wood inside and out. Flat roof is covered in Sedum plants for ecological, insulative and drainage. All solar, heat exchange and water controls are easily accessed inside the house.<br />
<br />
The term passive house (Passivhaus in German) refers to a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, reducing its ecological footprint. It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. Passive design is not an attachment or supplement to architectural design, but a design process that is integrated with architectural design.<br />

Une maison passive est un bâtiment économe en énergie. Les pertes de chaleur sont tellement limitées qu’un faible apport de chauffage est suffisant. La puissance d’un fer à repasser (+- 2000 W), permet de chauffer confortablement une maison pendant l’hiver ! Pendant l’été, les pare-soleils évitent la surchauffe de l’habitation. Une maison passive consomme en moyenne 4 fois moins d’énergie.<br />
Pour réaliser cela il faut d’abord isoler. Il y a généralement entre 25 et 35 cm d’isolant sur les murs, 20 cm pour les sols et 40 à 45 pour les toits, selon le type de matériau utilisé. Les fenêtres doivent être en triple

  • Two Bhutan guides in traditional dress accompany a group of Japanese tourists on their way down from the Tiger's Nest Buddhist temple perched high up, and almost inaccessible except for a steep 3 hour climb, Paro, Bhutan..Bhutan the country that prides itself on the development of 'Gross National Happiness' rather than GNP. This attitude pervades education, government, proclamations by royalty and politicians alike, and in the daily life of Bhutanese people. Strong adherence and respect for a royal family and Buddhism, mean the people generally follow what they are told and taught. There are of course contradictions between the modern and tradional world more often seen in urban rather than rural contexts. Phallic images of huge penises adorn the traditional homes, surrounded by animal spirits; Gross National Penis. Slow development, and fending off the modern world, television only introduced ten years ago, the lack of intrusive tourism, as tourists need to pay a daily minimum entry of $250, ecotourism for the rich, leaves a relatively unworldly populace, but with very high literacy, good health service and payments to peasants to not kill wild animals, or misuse forest, enables sustainable development and protects the country's natural heritage. Whilst various hydro-electric schemes, cash crops including apples, pull in import revenue, and Bhutan is helped with aid from the international community. Its population is only a meagre 700,000. Indian and Nepalese workers carry out the menial road and construction work.
