Hi there!
I'm from an italian sea cost city and I'd like to self-build my house. let's take
https://weatherspark.com/y/65786/Average-Weather-in-Livorno-Italy-Year-Round weather as example.
The climate is very hot in July and August, infact the temp usually is over 33 celsius, and perceived even worse, given the african hot/humid winds. Then, January till March, the climate is very cold, given the high humidity.
The goal is to build a one floor 100sqm or two floor 100sqm, simple passive house.
If not too much expensive, the house would be designed in order to get a new house floor on top, to be built in the future only if needed.
Regarding
materials, local architects proposed rammed earth, CEB, cob and straw bale.
A few questions:
1) Which would be the best, cheaper, easier, faster to build, which have less problems about humidity, water infiltration, and other vulnerabilities?
2) Which one provide the best indoor air quality, temperature and general comfort?
You could make a ranking list if you'd like to
