CCAT greenshed west wall

ABSTRACT

CCAT is building a functional and educational tool shed that demonstrates three different green building materials, one per wall. Each wall will be designed out of different earth/green materials and overtime will tell us which materials held up the longest and were the most suitable to our local Arcata environment.

 The frequently wet, cold, and humid nature of our climate is an opportunity to work with breathable and non-watersoluble materials. Some methods using organic matter present the issue of rotting. The tendency of organic matter to rot in out wet climate will require the walls to "breathe" well so as to not trap moisture inside. 
 The concrete foundation of the green shed was poured to make a standard 6 inch wide wall. This is not wide enough for most earth building methods to be of much insulation value. The foundation for the walls will have to be widened to accommodate. 
 An existing example of natural wall construction exists at CCAT [[1]] There is an example of papercrete and of straw and clay-slip. It may yet be used for inspiration on the insulation walls.
