People used to make buildings with bricks, plastics, concrete and a lot of other synthetic materials. Now, there are ecological alternatives such as bamboo, recycled steel, precast concrete and much more.

Materials used in traditional houses come from nature but they go trough a chemical process to make them apropriate to build. On the other hand, ecological buldings are made with materials that also come from nature but don´t suffered any type of process to change them.

In traditional houses, once the materialsgo to the chemical process, Foundations are laid, walls are built, roofs are added and then the interior of the building begins to be created. In ecological houses, solar panel systems are added, a lot of windows are used, and the materials that are left are reused on decoration.

1.4. What is the environmental impact of the different materials used?

# data[].attributes.body
Ecological houses have a very little environmental impact because materials are choosed based on that impact, also, roofs and heating systems are made of natural resources. In traditional houses, the construction process and the end-use of buildings produces a number of gases and other emissions, such as greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (C02), water vapour, methane and nitrous oxide) and the pollutants produced by synthetic chemicals used in the process of adaptation of materials.

Traditional houses are sourced in Tanzania. Like a thousand years ago. It was discovered in 1930.
Ecological houses were created in the USA in 1970 after the price of oil began to increase sharply.

# data[].attributes.body
Traditional houses are often two-floored with a pointed, big roof. Usually they have large simetrical windows and open porches with stairs in the front. On the other hand, eco-friendly houses are ussually very tall, and have large windows, usually they are very open and are in open and green spaces.

1.7. Are there any building code restrictions on the use of green materials?

# data[].attributes.body
There is not an especific code for green houses but the materials used in the building have to follow the basic rules established by the architecture College. For example, the same quality or the same resistance against earthquakes.

# data[].attributes.body
Suastainable sites need to follow an integrated site development process to conduct a site which considers all forms of environmental impact.
Is important to consider risks like floods, wind, and wildfires.

  3. Water Conservation: means of treating water, water filters.

# data[].attributes.body
Water is one of the most important renewable source of energy and we need it to live. But water maintenance is expensive and not environmental-friendly. Filters, cuase a lot of damage and are really expensive.
A better option is charcoal water filters.
Typically made using eco-friendly bamboo or sustainably sourced wood, these plant-based materials are put into a specialized kiln and burned at high temperatures to create a porous, glass-like charcoal filter that will purify tap water.

4.  Energy & Atmosphere: use of solar energy

# data[].attributes.body
Solar energy is the most popular and sustainable way of energy but it has presented a lot of problems. For example: solar panels are really expensive, energy is not constant, in nights or cloudy days energy doesn't run the same. Even though it works well in sunny days, someone who works from home needs a constant function, wich solar energy can't provide.

5.   Indoor Environmental Quality: air free of chemicals

# data[].attributes.body
Indoor pollution is mostly created by CO2 and sookstovens. Now, CO2 is something humans PRODUCE so we may not change that but tha cookstove can be changed by useing electric kitchens and ovens. Using gas to cook is one of the most important indoor pollutions but it can be solved. its a little more expensive but if you use solar energy it´ll be easier.
