A Key to Green Building: Build Smaller

Tuesday, October 19, 2010
When it comes to green building, size matters.
A week ago today we shared a recent installment in Alex Wilson's (of BuildingGreen.com) Top Ten Green Building Priorities.  Today's blog post by Wilson unveils priority #5: "Build Smaller".  According to Wilson:
"From an environmental and energy standpoint, building smaller houses is a winner.  Smaller houses take less material to build and they use less energy to heat and cool.  This is common sense, but it's amazing how rarely people think about it…When I hear that green homes cost more than standard homes, my first response is always to point out that smaller homes are much greener--and those homes usually cost less, not more."
Sam and I recently sat down with Jordan Palmeri of Oregon DEQ to discuss his excellent work documenting the greenhouse gas and waste implications of Oregonian construction patterns.  It was striking to learn just how significant a difference in home size makes in terms of climate change impact.  According to Palmeri's preliminary results, compared with a typical 2,262 SF Oregon home, a 1,633 SF home reduces climate change impact by 19% and a 1,149 SF home brings a 38% reduction.  And that's just changing size alone, not taking other green building actions/interventions.

Of course, building smaller requires good design to maximize limited space -- that's where a healthy design-build collaborative process can really come in handy.  The recent flurry in interest in Accessory Dwelling Unit development is an encouraging sign that, in Portland at least, demand for smaller homes is on the rise.  Every bit helps!

Vanku Tiger Stone Road Paving Machine - more

More videos of this fabulous Vanku Tiger Stone Road Paving Machine:

Barabás téglakő - térkőterítő gép 


The machine that is presented in this video was invented in the Netherlands. A Hungarian paving factory wanted to purchase that machine but the Dutch totally rejected its selling. As a result, with the help of Hungarian engineers, this Hungarian factory had built this machine for itself in Hungary and it is still at work in Hungary at the constructions of this Hungarian factory.

Vanku’s Tiger Stone machine
Via, Gizmag and Gizmodo, I found this video of this Dutch-made brick paving machine. I wouldn’t go so far as Gizmodo does in describing this as a “machine that can print cobblestone roads,” but I get the analogy and agree that it is ingenious. (My apologies about the background music!)
The manufacturer, Vanku says versions of its “Tiger Stone” machine are available in four-, five- and six-meter widths (prices range from €60,000-€80,000) and can pave at least 300 square meters per day using 2 operator/feeders.
Although I can’t find any particulars about what kind of roadbed preparation is required, the Tiger Stones move on electrically powered treads.
I have no sense of the market for brick-paved roads in the U.S. and elsewhere, but this level of automation would seem to be ideal for homeowners looking for alternatives to asphalt and concrete. Heretofore, homeowners who want a brick paver driveway (I am one) would have had to be willing to pay a substantial premium compared to other choices.
Tiger Stone isn’t the only approach to automating paving work. See this other system, for example: ... (more)
