During the Green and Solar Home Tours, we saw lots of different materials used on the homes. The most interesting is shown in the third picture. It is a combination of woodchips and cement that is molded together and made into blocks. These blocks create good protection from the outdoors and keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer without needing much heat and without needing an air conditioner. The owners put clay over the top of the blocks on the inside creating a smooth surface for the walls. On the outside of the house, they painted the bricks a burnt orange color. This home also had it's own solar panels which made it very efficient. The picture in the middle is a cement wall that was cast between 2 by 4's and 2 by 6's. I really liked the texture of this material and how it showed the knots in the wood and the lines between the wood. I think it is a good idea for the outside of a home, but not so much for the inside because it creates more of an industrial look and it is not as inviting.
