- BIOCONSTRUCTION - Finnland

Finnland is making real advances in sustainable architecture. On of them is building with wood, this has to main reasons:

-Finnland is full of forests, so they have a lot of wood.

-The wood of the houses captures the CO2 from the air, such as trees do.

1 m3 of wood has 1 tone of CO2 aprox.

And a Finnish house has 30 tones of CO2 aprox.


Example of a finnish wooden house.

The egg falling

Hi everyone! Today  our are going to explain my project. Our project is called "The egg falling". It consists in throwing an egg throw a high place with some kind of structure that prevents of breaking it. As you know our blog it's about technology and ecology, so we made a eco-structure with reused materials. We propoused a smart and sustainable solutions. We cut a sponge in half, then we put the egg between the two halves and we closed it with two reused elastic bands. Finally we put it inside four old socks with cereals and corn between them. This is a sketch of our structure: Our materials were ecofriendly: The sponge,the socks and the elastic bands were reused. It's important to be conscious about our planet, because we want a good future, and we won't get a future if we keep trowing things in the ocean, or using CO2 to get energy for moving from a point to an other. We have to stop doing things without thinking before. We did an excel about the

- BIOCONSTRUCTION - Ecological houses

Some people started to apply the ecology to the arquitecture, and they created the ecohouses. What are they? An ecohouse, is a house constructed to reduce its footprint of carbon emisions  and energy used. This is made with different types of technology and materials that are good for our enviroment .  What are they based on? They are based in different technics that help them to accomplish its main  purpose. For example: -Using renewable energy systems in the house: this will be respectful for our planet, because using non-renewable energies, increments the emissions of greenhouse gases (and we don't want this). The most common renewable energy that are used in this houses is the solar energy, however, if near your house there is a lot of wind, you can also use a wind turbine to produce energy. -Construct big windows: This can sound kind of silly, but it isn't. Constructing big windows, can reduce energy, because the bigger the window is the more quantity of light
