The prices for heat and electric energy produced from fossil raw materials will climb more in astronomical heights in the next years despite the current economic crises. Therefore it is a permanent task to think about ways the saving energy and enhancing the use of renewable energies. Especially this is a taskl of doing proper construction work. Anyone who would ecologically like to build should already think about the integration of heat pumps and solar plants in the planning phase.

Building ecologically means also to avoid natural materials which can damage the environment at the erosion or the dismantling and last utilization. Meanwhile, many building materials - even natural origin - are considered being harmful to health, if not even classified carcinogenically. Asbestos is such an example, which now may be disposed only in special packing. Anoother aspect is that valuable tree populations shall stay as much as possible and the new areas shall not be planned where an intact forest provides the absorption of the carbon dioxide.

For solar plants one can use 2 ways: Either the thermal radiation of the sun is captured about tube collectors and brought in in the heating circulation of the house or one produces his own energy current with solar power. Also heat pump systems are integral parts of the environment wholesome style meanwhile. One can withdraw the energy from the sewage for example and feed in the warm water supply over a heat exchanger in the heating circulation or. One also can use the geothermal energy with heat exchanger well. Who checks in parallel still the outer skin of the building sensibly and takes care also for windows and doors that they achieve high checking values can save a whole lot of heating energy.

Ecologically builds heard the utilization of rain water for the keyword also? Roofing tiles on which hardly any dirt stands out by a special coating are available in the trade now. This investment is worthwhile because one can use the rain water which is of the roof draining away and filtered for the toilet flush or the washing machine connection so. The latter has just another advantage: often, the drinking water shows high degrees of hardness from the line which endangers machines by lime deposits and requires higher quantities to detergent. Rain water is considerably softer. One can save detergent and conditioner there.

Its a bit off-topic … just to say that at the beginning… Lightning is defined to be “an atmospheric discharge of electricity, which typically occurs during thunderstorms”. Nice technical definition, but does not describe what humans think when they see and watch this. Some days ago I spend a weekend in Munique (Germany), where they have a demonstration of lightning in the Deutsche Museum” (a big technical museum). It was indoor, and (only) 50.000 Volts … but a horrible feeling.

So on one side it may be a waste of energy, but hopefuly it will help to generate useful energy. The power of a lightning is immense. The other important thing I learned was respect. respect what power is in the hands of nature. Respect of just being a small human being which may be destroyed in fractions of a second.

The weather changes our world. Nothing is like it used to be.

The weather put our civilization to an endpoint

Things get obsolete

Alternative transport methods are needed

Its becoming evening. Take care of the weather !

Enyjoy a world which has plenty of food and water.In principle for every one. Take care of it, ressources are limited and every day becoming more valuable.

Soon it may be over
