Earth sheltered, Earth Berm and Underground Homes
Earth sheltered homes became more popular in the 1970’s when energy efficient homes where in great demand, but have been around for centuries. Some advantages of an underground home are the energy savings and superior safety from some of nature’s fierce elements. These earth contact homes are billed as hurricane proof and tornado proof but not completely disaster proof. Also, if an earth shelter or underground house is built properly it is very earth friendly. Earth berm houses are some the environmentally or eco friendly homes on the market. On May 14th 1974 Malcolm Wells came up with Underground America Day and it has been celebrated every year since. It seems the biggest concern with this style of architecture is finding an underground house contractor. Below are some great resources for earth friendly sheltered living and green home contractors.
