| The
Ecological Building Network is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity in San Rafael, California.
We are a growing and international association of builders, engineers, architects,
academics and developers committed to promoting intelligent building methods and
materials for a sustainable future.
The
Ecological Building Network (EBNet) was founded in December of 1999 by Bruce
King, a structural engineer living and practicing near San Francisco, California.
He became interested in alternative building materials when he was hired to engineer
the Real Goods Solar Living Center in Hopland, California, a visionary retail
store composed of straw-bale and Pisé walls, sustainably harvested lumber, and
fly ash concrete. That experience led him to publish two books and many articles
on straw-bale, earth, fly ash and other alternative building materials; and give
talks, seminars and slide-shows promoting ecological considerations within the
building community.
The need for a comprehensive source of information on ecological building materials
led Bruce and his colleagues to create the Ecological Building Network.
EBNet's advisory board consists of experts in the field of green building
from all over the world who will contribute to EBNet publications and seminars.
