Sustainable Building Electronic Directory

Are you spending lots of time searching for information on sustainable building? Two new search tools at www.grisb.org/directory/index.htm make the job a lot easier:

  • Browsing: The Sustainable Building Electronic (SBE) Directory provides about 200 links in 28 categories that point directly to online articles, thereby saving time and effort searching through entire websites. Each site in the SBE Directory has been carefully chosen for its quality information.
  • Searching: You can search the text of these articles using the built-in search engine. A targeted search such as this saves searching through thousands of sites, often of dubious quality. Compare the results to any major search engine and see for yourself.

Many of the links in the SBE Directory point to the largest sustainable building websites. This means thousands of articles are available for browsing and searching.

Topics in the Sustainable Building Electronic Directory include: adobe, appropriate technology, bamboo, cob, cordwood, earth, earthbag, pressed earth block, rice hulls, soil cement, solar, straw bale, straw clay, sustainable development, traditional houses and about 13 other categories.
