Local building codes…
This remote village takes sustainable building seriously !! Probably more out of convenience and economy conciderations than anything else. But you do start to wonder if they have to learn anything at all when it comes to low impact building. In fact I think we have a lot to learn from them!. Beautifull and functional homes that keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Locally the mud houses are known to also cure revmatism!! The downside is that you have to limewash the outside every Novrous(spring holiday). But that is very cheap to do and not so labour intencive. I truley loved the combination of timber frames and mudd. Rafael ,the owner and builder said they used...
Read MoreRocket Mass Heater in Lerik Video
I have made a video of the first RMH we made up in Lerik this winter. The bench is not finnished in the video, but it shows most of the other parts of the construction. Enjoy ! If you live in Azerbaijan and would like us to make a stove in your own house, we can most probably help you. One option is to organice the making of your stove as a course for local builders to learn, and than it will only cost you the materials ! Please dont hesitate to contact us !!
Read MorePortable rocket stove burning well !
Hey Just wanted to show you our latest creation under testing. It is a portable type of “rocket-stove” or “zimmovar sobase” that we call it in Azeri. It burns fairly effecient. It dosent have a bench connected yet, only about 5 meters of horisontal pipe working as convectors. It is not enough to take out all the heat from the smoke, but i guess it is down to about 70 celcius. The system is a 4″ system. It has a heat riser ratio of 1 to 3. It is insulated with sawdust-clay and has some thermal mass. Total weight more than 50 kg. It burns about 7 kilos of wood through a 12 hour burn. It heats a fairly poor insulated kitchen with high...
Read MoreRocket stoves
We are the first company to assist building of rocket stove, massnory heaters in Azerbaijan. This is a stove very well suited for use in rural Azerbijan. Its unice design makes it cheap to produce, easy to build, last for long time, burns clean and efficient. We are also in the prosess of designing a portable model for seasonal removal. (The picture shows a stove designed by Ernie and Erica Wisner and the Cob Cottage Company) Here is a good article on rocket mass heaters at richsoil.com by Paul Wheaton Read more...
Read MoreSolar-thermal energy
Solar collectors are almost unheard of, even thoe the climate is mild enough for large solar fractions to cover the heating bill. The picture shows an experimental unit made with only local supplies. We believe we can produse these localy at a resonable cost. As in any design or new construction there are compromises and these criterias are set to guide us in the development. It is possible to end up with a very good system that just a few can afford, we could still might have a great buisness, but then the environmental impact would be small. Our dream is to see these around everywhere around here, and therefore it is crusial that we devlop it under...
Read MoreWood burning
Still thousands of villagers in the area outside the cities (but also suprisingly many inside the cities) relays only on wood for their space heating. Most of the wood heat goes directly out the chimney due to bad combustion. This combined with badly insulated houses, makes the winters feel like a long, cold and unproductive season, where many people spend as much time as possible in their bed.
