I have not spent enough time perusing designs for these to recommend any particular strategy, especially for that wind load - would love to see some good examples though (would be a great EBN article ;). I feel that pretty much any plaster or cladding is going to have challenges with moisture infiltration in those conditions. I'm not sure the best of plasters can handle it without mediation from a mechanical screen, which could double as an energy conservation strategy as well as provide other benefits (shading, growth media for food, etc.).<br><br>Great to hear the gears grinding on such challenges :)<br><br>Tony<br><br>___________________<br>Tony Novelli<br>Assistant Director <br>Development Center for <br>Appropriate Technology <br>California Office<br>2101 Wellmar Dr<br>Ukiah, CA 95482<br>m) 520-360-8858<br><a href="mailto:anthony.novelli@gmail.com">anthony.novelli@gmail.com</a><br><br>On Sep 18, 2011, at 8:54 PM, GSBN-request@sustainablesources.com wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">Send GSBN mailing list submissions to<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>GSBN@sustainablesources.com<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>GSBN-request@sustainablesources.com<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">You can reach the person managing the list at<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>GSBN-owner@sustainablesources.com<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">than "Re: Contents of GSBN digest..."<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">Today's Topics:<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"> 1.
