We call our Type
I dwellings Eagles, with the basic Eagle™ shown
in our books about Type Ia1. Another Eagle is shown in Figure 1.
Less expensive than earth-covered dwellings, the Eagle™ is none-the-less
a very high performance home. The earth-bermed walls, the thick, heavily
insulated roof, and the protective, wide porch result in serious energy economies
and enhanced security.
Our
Type II dwelling is called the Roof Garden™, and
the first one, an L-shape, is under development.
Our Type IIIMED dwelling
is called the Standard™ and
is earth-covered. The basic Standard™ is shown
in our books about Type IIIMEDa1. Views of
other standards follow:

The

Our
Type IIIHeavy is called the Season Shifter™ because
the mass of the earth (7 feet) and structure results in a three-month lag for
heat or cold transfer, thus shifting seasonal effects while attenuating their
extremes.
The retouched photo shows the unfinished home, with the drawing showing the
intended landscape.
