Earth-sheltered (and Living Roofs) Picture Page
Earth-sheltering a home helps keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Living roofs have a myriad of advantages, too numerous to list here. 11 of the 12 buildings at our Earthwood campus have living roofs, and the main building is 40% earth-sheltered, predominantly on the northern side.
