In the whirlwind of climate change, whose inexorable effects are being observed around the world, we are increasingly thinking about how each of us can contribute to the preservation of our planet. One way is eco or green construction, which is becoming more and more popular.
The trend of returning to nature and respect for the environment is seen in various segments of our everyday life, too in architecture. In the past, houses were built from wood, straw, mud, clay and sand, so today there is an increasing effort to use traditional methods and use of natural resources.
Wood is thus the most commonly used natural renewable material, as it is easy to recycle and consumes little energy. Straw and clay are used for insulation and static. Natural sunlight becomes a source of heat and energy. Various built-in systems collect rainwater, as this saves drinking water.
