Jordskipenes tidsalder

Øyvind Holmstad
På 1700-tallets Jæren bodde folk i to hustyper, en av tre og en av torv og stein halvt nedgravd i bakken. Foruten å være rimeligst var torvhusene langt lunere. Likevel ble torvhusbeboerne satt under permanent belæring fra trehusbeboerne om hvor ”ufint” de bodde. Gammen er tilsvarende en svært kli...

Naturlig ventilasjon og pustende konstruksjoner

Øyvind Holmstad
Orginal artikkel hos Permaliv her. Denne er oppdatert med ny informasjon og har fine illustrasjoner. Istedenfor å angripe årsakene til at vi trenger økt luftutskifting, velger myndighetene å feie disse under teppet og heller satse på økte krav til ventilasjon, noe som i praksis betyr påtvungne a...
