Strawbales, Wetlands and Composting Toilets: A Green Home in Berkeley County-
Jeff Feldman, green homeowner turned green building consultant, will be speaking about the green home he and his wife, Kristin, built in Berkeley County, WV. The home is a passive solar, post and beam-framed, strawbale-SIP hybrid structure. It features a masonry heater, composting toilets, a graywater wetland treatment system, wheatboard kitchen cabinetry, and a recycled paper kitchen countertop along with several other green elements. Jeff will highlight the green considerations that drove their building decisions, present images and stories from the construction process, share samples of some of the green materials used in the home, and answer questions about the learnings that occurred along the way.
