[papercreters] Thanks HNY Blowing Papercrete like stucco??? Passive Solar Books?

Greetings, HNY   Thanks for the resources, I will see if the library can get the book, ususally always check out these books before purchase.   With having Rammed Earth, Strawbale, Earthbag and Ceramic Buildings on my shelves, I am now into PC and know that this is for us.   But all the info has to gel first.  With only a wood stove and passive solar it is so important to do it right the first time.   Will try a pump house or a shed first or something to practice.   I am so amazed at the talent of so many I have met here and on the web.   Found one guy who was using PC and pop cans for a garden thing .  Another was doing stepping stones.     Someone had even done a pond.   Happy New Year,   Calle --- On Wed, 12/30/09, DVB_Batam <dvb@techie.com> wrote: From: DVB_Batam <dvb@techie.com> Subject: [papercreters] Re: Blowing Papercrete like stucco??? Passive Solar Books? To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, December 30, 2009, 1:34 AM   The below 358 page book is a good (I got it as a gift) - but is quite technical with math formula's in quite a few places. Outside of those, it does have great diagrams and info, I.E, about thermal comfort, stack effect. And onwards into Light and Sonic environment. Good data sheets for each section, I.E: thermal properties, and sonic properties, of all kinds of materials. This info in itself is very helpful to possibly some wiser choices. ARCHITECTURAL SCIENCE - The Basis of Sustainable Design, Second edition 2008 On Amazon it's not exactly cheap at $47.20 http://www.amazon. com/Introduction -Architectural- Science-Sustaina ble-Design/ dp/0750658495 On that same page is a link to what looks to be good and a lot cheaper at $11.61: Thermal Delight in Architecture Cheers !!

The one reference I found on line is a book from the early 90's, great info, but maybe something newer. > > Thanks and Happy New Year. > > If any of you live in a Papercrete home, have you posted pictures and I just don't know about them? > > Calle >
