Design Your Own Eco Cabin · Masterclass

Healthy Buildings

Design the cabin to work with the climate: without machines, or with machines only as a backup.
Three parts: heat and air, keeping it dry, and materials. The page uses your climate to set targets for your cabin. You choose products in Week 6. Everything saves on your computer as you go.
01

Heat and air

Control where the heat goes. Heat always moves from warm to cold. The design decides how fast.

02

Keep it dry

Build it like a good rain jacket. Keep the rain out. Let the moisture from inside out.

03

Materials

Choose materials that keep the air clean. Some products give off gases for years. Choose the ones that don’t.

Keep your Healthy Buildings Brief

I’ll send it to the email at the top of this page as a Google Doc you can keep working on. I get a copy too. Bring it to Week 6, when we choose the materials.
