They represent one of the largest and most promising concepts to contribute significantly to sustainable energy. The webcast defines the Passive House concept, and introduces its principles.

The Hook&Build™ Building System

Submitted by Wolf Wilbert (not verified) on Mon, 2008-02-04 07:07.

Please have a look at the web site: web.mac.com/wwilbert1 

This building system offers the structural support in any form and shape, to compliment most of the sustainable building types today. It was used for example for straw bale buildings.

This technology was awarded with the "Industrial Champion Award 2006" by the Canadian Wood Council together with the Alberta WoodWorks.

Please see the "Update" on top of the web site, and go to the newest written article at the Builders Choice Magazine.

Thank you.
