Some materials used in the Baubiologie-Bioconstruction
MATERIALS OF A CLEAN BUILDING The election of the building materials is essential for the well-being of the inhabitants and for the balance of the environment. We understand the closings of a building as our third skin (after the corporal skin and the clothes).It is necessary to exile completely the use of poisonous materials, both in his production, and in his installation not either for the future users. In bioconstruction there are applied not pollutant and renewable products produced with low social, environmental and energy, biodegradable or easily re-usable or recycable costs. There are not used materials that accumulate static electricity, which the positive ions of the air increase, as most of the synthetics do it. There are not used elements that prevent the transpiration, closing hermetically the treated surfaces, but materials are used higroscópicos. Materials of the area are used, supporting the local small scale industries economy and avoiding transports.Unfortunately a material, meal, not even medicine exists etc. on the market, which does not have any relation poisonous, be in the transport, in the packing or simply with the machinery with which they are made. But between everything it is possible to diminish enough the contamination in the construction of a building. |

ELEMENT |
THE SICK BUILDING |
THE HEALTHY BUILDING |
Selection of the ground and the site. |
Any location |
Election as of the local conditions. Orientation specifies according to the climate. |
Construction rubble
|
Construction rubble, plastics from up to 1000 kg for a one family house. Special expansive dump-places. | Recycling of all the elements, for ejeplo debris as acoustic isolation. |
Fundament or baseplate |
Concrete reinforcement with iron, grey cement with suspect ingredients. |
concrete with lime without armor, or bars of steel or synthetic fibres. |
Vertical structure |
Especially in Spain they build with a concrete construction and they fill it out with bricks. No use of wood. |
walls of load of solid brick, adobe, tapial and masonry of natural stone. |
Horizontal structure in slabs and roofing |
Most of structure in Europ made by conrete with suspect incredients. |
Wood, biological concrete mixtures. |
| Sanitation | PVC, toxic clue, high humidity. | Polypropylene pipes, ceramic pipes. |
| Installation of Plumbing | Toilet with a high drinking water expense than more than 10 liters for each use. | Dry toilet or compost toilet. |
| Plumbing | Copper-pipe has an high pollution in there fabrication, not reusable. | Polypropylene pipes, ceramic pipes. |
| Electric energy | Produced at a lot of distance with not renewable energies, nuclear energy, environmental disasters, marshes, squandering. | Producción nearby and even with proper renewable energies. Household appliances of low consumption. No use of stand-by. |
| Electric installation | Cables and plugs with pvc and with halogens, electrical fields. | Cables reinforced without pvc polypropylene not even halogens, desconectador of light. |
| Thermic and acoustic isolation | Poor thickness, just fulfilling the law with suspicious materials, froth of polyurethane, fiberglass, rock fibre. | Thickness for the energy saving with natural materials, fibre of hemp, wool of sheep, natural cork, wood fibre, cellulose. |
| Carpintry | Windows and doors of pvc, aluminum, iron, tropical wood of uncontrolled choppings. | windows and doors, attached greenhouses of wood from the country with certificates FSC. |
| Water | Chlorine treatment without control. | Natural treatment, devices of saving. |
| Use of Rainwater | Canalization without use. | Cisterns of storage, direct use in the washer, irrigation |
