You may have heard of wooden houses and eco-friendly technologies to build passive houses. This blog is dedicated to all those who love nature and think of a sustainable future by starting their own home.

Kyoto Protocol, energy conservation, energy efficiency and are bringing all the major sectors of society and 'building to change, staking everything on' environmental sustainability.

Many traditional companies in the building are being converted to green building and are ready to offer solutions that are based on ecological design and offering the basics of turnkey solutions for the construction of houses for energy saving, environmentally friendly and earthquake resistant.

There are really many companies in green building field, both in US and in Europe, but today i would like to talk about italian houses style. As you may know Italy is one of the most beautiful countries, but also a Sismic zone.

Recently the middle of Italy was hit by a huge heartquake.

They had to find a solution for the reconstruction of houses, and just what 'needs has led to a total change of mentality related to construction field.

Many companies have invaded the territory by offering sustainable solutions, which allowed not only to resist in case of an earthquake, but also a high energy saving.

As you know, wood is a very strong and flexible. Just these features allow the eco-homes to be very efficient in all aspects of sustainable construction. The supporting walls of the houses are made of wood: solid wood beams, OSB, Fermacell and rock wool to 'internal walls.

Here there are some photos that will show you the characteristics of the structures of ecological wooden houses.

The thickness of the outer walls of the houses is 22 cm, the internal walls is 15 cm. This technology ensures the ecological houses a high thermal comfort and sound insulation.

The ventilated roof of eco houses, provide an excellent thermal and sound insulation, ensuring high yields with regard to energy saving.
