Natural Building Questions and Answers
Dan
Chiras has been
involved in natural and alternative building since 1994 and lives in an
off-grid passive solar/solar electric home in the foothills of the Rockies.
His house is built from straw bales, rammed earth tires, and numerous
green building materials and is powered entirely by wind and solar energy.
Dan is author of The
Natural House: A Complete Guide to Healthy, Energy-Efficient, Environmental
Homes, published by Chelsea Green; The
Natural Plaster Book: Earthen, Lime, and Gypsum Plasters for Natural Homes (with Cedar Rose Guelberth), published by New Society Publishers; and
numerous articles on natural building and sustainable design, which have
appeared in Mother Earth News, Natural Home, and The
Last Straw. Dan embraces a comprehensive systems approach to building
that offers a wide range of benefits to people, the planet, and our economy.
He will field general questions on natural building and offers consultation
on project design and construction, as well as lectures and workshops
on various aspects of natural and sustainable design and construction.
