Hello! I have a school assignment regarding house construction. I am going to build a house, in my case 84 square meters large. We are also supposed to build it as economically and environmentally friendly as possible without it collapsing in the next 30 years. My question is, what would you recommend for materials concerning walls, floors, roof, etc.? Since I am terribly inexperienced, this is very difficult for me. Tips would be appreciated!
Before we do your school assignment for you, can you tell us more about yourself and the assignment itself? Which grade/line? What subject is it about? Why have you been given a task about building houses when it's obviously something you're not familiar with? What do you mean by "build"? I assume you're not actually supposed to build a house of 84m². But are you supposed to make a drawing, a model, a calculation?
From the rules for byggahus.se
Wood is cheap and economical. But from a life cycle perspective, it is not necessarily the best.
Check straw-bale houses, for example. (Search the forum and the internet for "straw-bale house").
But unfortunately, according to byggahus rules and probably according to your teacher, you should find the answers yourself, in some other way.
All houses should probably last at least 30 years.metalqvarnis said:

Now I have no idea about the background to this, but a guess is that the actual "find out how using the information channels you can find" is part of the task and then a forum should not be wrong from the teacher's point of view.
Surveys, project work, TV programs
It is not allowed for companies, organizations, or students to conduct market surveys, request help with school work, or seek participants for TV programs via our forum. Therefore, the thread will be closed, but before I do so, here's a tip to read through parts of this forum. There are already a lot of good tips. Have you tried the library? There is a lot there about building construction, like the truss book, for example. If you have a construction line at school, talk to the teachers there as well.
