Eco-Architecture: Pet Bottle Houses

Eco -friendly architectural principles are being incorporated into more buildings every day in the world but they are still out of reach of many people due to lack of knowledge and awareness. Nevertheless, many traditional societies learned to build collaborating with nature, basing their buildings on an intuitive knowledge of the environment and climate, constructing buildings at a very low cost. In this research we implemented strategies and systems based on Eco-friendly environment and more advanced technologies but that could still be built at very low costs, with waste materials, providing adequate thermal comfort while being sustainable. A significant reduction in performance would be acceptable if the cost reduction is significant.
