Waste House: the first British House made of trash with negative CO2 emissions
Landfills are filling up faster than ever with millions of tons of garbage every year. But if it were possible to turn this waste into building material? Waste House, in the United Kingdom, is the living example of this manufacturing capacity. It is the first permanent home was constructed almost entirely from Trash.The project was designed by atelier BBM, in Sussex, as part of a research project alive and a design workshop for sustainable development at the University of Brighton. The House Waste, which has a negative impact on the level of carbon dioxide emissions, was built to prove that "there is no garbage, just things in the wrong places," said the Inhabitat.Located on the campus of the University of Brighton, the House was even built with the help of students of the educational institution. The building was built with 85% of garbage, collected from construction sites in the region. The materials include plastic razors, jeans used, videotapes and 20,000 toothbrushes. Most of the garbage was inserted into the walls to isolate and various kinds of garbage will be monitored with sensors to study its insulating efficiency.About 2,000 carpets recycled water proof lining the exterior facade, while old vinyl banners are used as internal control layers to steam. In addition, waste organic material was also used in the House. To improve energy efficiency and thermal conductivity, rammed earth walls were built of clay and lime residues.Currently, the House Waste â€" whose construction took about a year and was inaugurated in April this year â€" serves as a research facility for students of the master of sustainable Design at the University of Brighton..fancybox-wrap { position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; } .fancybox-skin { position: relative; /*margin-top:20px !important;*/ background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; } .fancybox-opened { z-index: 8030; } .fancybox-opened .fancybox-skin { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .fancybox-outer, .fancybox-inner { position: relative; } .fancybox-inner { overflow: hidden; } .fancybox-type-iframe .fancybox-inner { -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; } .fancybox-close{ background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width:25px; height:25px; float:right; margin-top:10px; margin-right:5px; } /*.ngg-gallery-image img{width:565px; height:393px;}*/
