Dear all,Independent study by the institution which is not involve with any commercial bamboo industry. I still don¢t like the idea of shipping the bamboo half way cross the world by burning oil, and then calling it is green. Cheap (slave) labor plus all the pollution and high energy consumption during the manufacturing in any third world land is those hidden no green things that they don¢t want the consumers here to know about it.
By the way, those bamboo houses that imported from Vietnam to Hawaii does not look much different from the regular style stick houses, just few overprice bamboo posts and decorative rails outside the overhang roof with hidden metal brackets are not enough to call it a bamboo house, They are bunch of stud wall houses with expensive glue on bamboo planks or woven mats.
So 90% frame works of a so called bamboo house are still studs, beams, posts and plywood, which are still shipped from mainland US, because they are cheaper and more engineering control than those bamboo across the ocean, and then please do not call them the bamboo house. Please wait until bamboo is grown locally.
An AIA just as David Sand
