Earthships are a type of passive solar house that are made of both natural and recycled materials (such as earth-filled tires). Earthships are intended to be “off-the-grid ready” homes, with minimal reliance on both public utilities and fossil fuels. Earthships are constructed to use available natural resources, especially energy from the sun. They are designed to use thermal mass construction and natural cross ventilation, assisted by thermal draught (stack effect), to regulate indoor temperature.
