[ Ссылка ] Beau Davidson demonstrates the innovative use of mycelium for roof insulation while constructing a well pump house at Wheaton Labs. This project, part of the 2023 Permaculture Technology Jamboree, highlights Beau's expertise in permaculture building techniques. The goal is to create an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly insulated roof using mushroom mycelium and sawdust.
The well pump house construction involves careful selection and preparation of materials. Beau explains the process of using mycelium and sawdust for insulation, ensuring a strong and efficient insulative layer between the roof and the elements. This method not only provides thermal efficiency but also showcases the potential of using natural materials in modern construction.
In the Mycoinsulated Roof movie you'll see:
• Introduction to Mycelium Insulation: Beau opens the movie by introducing the concept of using mycelium for roof insulation and its benefits.
• Preparing Materials: He discusses the importance of selecting the right materials, focusing on sawdust and mycelium.
• Cutting Shallow Shelves: Shallow shelves are cut into the wooden beams to create a base for the insulation.
• Creating Dovetail Mortises: Beau demonstrates how to cut dovetail mortises, emphasizing precision and the use of appropriate tools.
• Matching Tenons: The dovetail tenons are carefully matched to the mortises, ensuring a tight and secure connection.
• Insulating with Mycelium: The sawdust and mycelium mixture is prepared and applied, providing an efficient insulation layer.
• Securing with Dowels: Additional stability is provided by inserting wooden dowels through the joints.
• Locking Mechanisms: The final locking mechanisms are put in place to ensure the insulation stays secure and effective.
Join us at Wheaton Labs to explore the innovative use of mycelium for insulation and experience the satisfaction of building with natural materials.Discover the joys of creating functional and environmentally friendly structures that harmonize with nature: [ Ссылка ]
