Talk:Earth shelter

message: Earthquake risk should be noted, in particular for dwellings dug out in löss. In recent times Iran (Bam 2003) and China (Sichuan 2008) have experienced earthquakes triggering the complete collapse of dwellings made of/in löss. As the esteemed traditional affordable building styles result in near total loss of life the numbers are downplayed. Also entire families, entire communities are buried alive, leaving no-one to tell the tale.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.173.226.152 (talk) 11:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

message: Can someone explain this contradiction:
* Most often, there is not an earth covering on the roof, but this is occasionally done. ('Theory')
* The majority of earth sheltered homes use earth sheltering around three of the sides and over the roof. ('Earth Sheltered Homes')
Perhaps I am missing something here... but what I read here is that most often the roof is not covered with earth, however, the majority of earth sheltered homes use earth sheltering on three sides and on the roof.
It depends on which house you look at. 24.39.50.135 12:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: # In-hill construction: The house is set into a south-facing slope or hillside so that the north, and possibly part or all of east and west walls, are sheltered.      Not all in-hill earth sheltered houses are in the northern hemisphere, and thus this is quite wrong. 59.167.83.164 12:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
