Design
There are two basic types of earthsheltered housing
1. underground
bermed(or banked with earth).
Certain characteristics such as
1. the location
2. soils of your site
3. the regional climate
4. design preferences are central to
which type will work best for you.
A bermed structure may be above
grade or partially below grade , with
outside earth surrounding one or more
walls. Both types usually have earth
covered roofs, and some of the roofs
may have a vegetation cover to reduce
erosion.
