Benefits of Earth Sheltering by Kantimathi Ravisankar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses earth sheltered housing and its advantages. It provides three examples of earth sheltered houses in different climates: the Aloni House in a hot humid climate, Villa Vals in a cold climate, and the Earthship Brighton in a moderate climate. Each example integrates with the surrounding landscape and topography, uses natural daylighting through windows and courtyards, and employs local and sustainable building materials to provide thermal comfort while reducing energy usage.
