1- BAMBOO

Sustainability experts nearly universally agree bamboo is one of the best eco-friendly building materials on the planet.

Bamboo technically is a perennial grass, not a wood, and it continues spreading and growing without having to be replanted after harvest. It is around the world and can be found on every continent except Europe and Antarctica.

Bamboo has a high strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional durability



2- RECYCLED OR RECLAIMED METAL
The metal is properly and efficiently reused or recycled into new products, its embodied energy lower and makes the material more sustainable.

Recycled metal is a long-lasting material that does not need frequent replacement. It tends not to burn, making it a viable option for roofing, structural supports and building "façades". It's also water and pest resistant.



3- RECYCLED OR RECLAIMED WOOD 
Reclaimed wood can be used for a plethora of building purposes, including structural framing, flooring, siding and cabinetry. 

Density varies by the type of wood and some stand up better. However, most wood is susceptible to insects and degradation, reinforcing the need to thoroughly inspect each reclaimed piece.  



4- STRAW BALES
Rather than relying on new research and technology, straw bale building hearkens back to the days when homes were built from natural materials. 

Straw bales are used to create a home’s walls inside of a frame, replacing other building materials such as concrete, wood, gypsum, plaster, fiberglass, or stone. When properly sealed, straw bales naturally provide very high levels of insulation for a hot or cold climate.

5- GRASSCRETE
As its name might indicate, grasscrete is a method of laying concrete flooring, walkways, sidewalks, and driveways in such a manner that there are open patterns allowing grass or other flora to grow.

While this provides the benefit of reducing concrete usage overall, there’s also another important perk.

ECO HOUSES  What is it? [ Is an environmentally low-impact home designed and built using materials and technology that reduces its carbon footprint and lowers its energy needs] What are they based of?

Finland

Construction and innovation in wood in Finland: What is this? And what does it consist of ? Wood construction is a project of the Finnish Government. The aim is to increase industrial wood construction and exports, but also the environmental and climate friendliness of construction.  A wooden building acts as a carbon storage throughout its life, even hundreds of years. Finnish wood construction regulates, such as fire safety problems, will be allowed to use wood equal footing with concrete and steel. For long, Finland’s strength in wood construction has been the construction of single-family homes and summer cottages.  According to a recent study by the "Pellervo Economic Research Institute" , more than 80 per cent of detached houses in Finland have a wooden frame and practically all leisure homes are made of wood.
