Try domeliving . com This is a concept for America as well my friend. Do you realize how much money people "WASTE" on heating and cooling? I know people in Florida around me spending 2-700 dollars a month for their home comfort. WASTE is all I can call it. I know a lady in Cocoa Beach with a 32 ft geodesic-concrete/styrofoam right on the beach and her bill is Fifty Dollars a month. I was in it. At monolithic . com you will see they have 4 schools coming up this year. First is in April. AK

"Earthquake proof" You mean earthquake resistant?
TacoLuvr 3 years ago 3
Unlike traditional buildings where the joints fail during an earthquake, EcoShells are built as a monolith - all one piece of reinforced concrete. With no joints to fail, the building moves with the ground and doesn't suffer any structural damage. In the areas where we have built EcoShells that have suffered subsequent earthquakes no damage has been reported. In pure legal terms it is possible that EcoShells are only earthquake resistant but in the real world they are earthquake proof.
