damp and air circulation http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1897177/list/architects-toolbox-rain-screens-up-house-health Anatomy of a rain screen wall. This sketch identifies the parts of an exterior wall that are designed to incorporate a rain screen. There are three areas of focus: 1. The gap between siding and the structural wall provides the space for air movement and moisture dissipation. This space can be easily constructed by installing the siding on furring strips, as shown. Of course, there are other methods to secure the finish siding materials to the structure. In fact, some manufacturers, such as James Hardie, have a system of channels that can be used. What's right for you depends on your style and your budget. 2. The bottom of the air space can't be left open. Several manufacturers have products that are specifically designed to be used at this spot. Most are essentially screen-type elements that allow air movement while preventing insects from getting into the air space. 3. More often than not, the landscaping (mulch, plantings and so on) is brought tight against the underside and may even bury the first few inches of the wall and siding. This will result in the wal...
Trellis To soften its presence in the landscape, a trellis has been mounted onto the concrete block walls as an armature for climbing plants.
http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25013886/list/off-the-grid-ready-to-pull-the-plug-on-city-power Corson shares a few energy conservation tips she learned from her off-grid, solar-powered home: ◦Use one appliance at a time. At breakfast this means things move a little slower if you need the coffeemaker, toaster and blender. ◦Don’t leave chargers plugged in after you use them. ◦Use switchable power bars for multiple outlets, so you eliminate phantom loads — the standby power that appliances use even when they’re turned off. ◦Use large appliances like the dishwasher and washing machine in the daylight hours. This way the photovoltaic panels can top up the batteries after the appliances have run. ◦Shower in the afternoon, when hot water is most abundant from the day’s solar gain. ◦Cook with propane if you are accustomed to an electric range. ◦Use a woodstove as part of your heating system. Light the fire as a first option instead of turning up the thermostat. ◦Open and close windows often, allowing nighttime cooling and passive ventilation.

The secret's in the joint. The fiber cement panels can be butted to each other or can be installed with a reveal between each panel. The James Hardie company has developed a simple installation system when a reveal is desired. While this reveal creates a distinct shadow line that is perfect for a contemporary design, the joints between panels can be treated in several ways.
