The study is supposed to start a series of research on the role of natural building as an environment friendly solution. It includes the results of a survey which was carried out to define the level of university students’ ecological awareness of benefits and development prospects of this technology in Poland. Young people were surveyed to find out their knowledge of the solutions based on natural resources available in the environment. It has been established whether positive attitude of students toward the natural environment can find reflection in their approval of eco-building and subsequently, willingness to invest money in construction of such buildings in the future. An important question has been addressed, that is, whether people are interested in houses made of clay, straw or wood an whether they consider them as cheap, durable, modern and esthetic architectural forms.
This paper presents the main features of a detached house and the experience accumulated during the first year of its use. The building is eco-friendly and energy-saving. The design takes into account such energy-related issues as heating the building, energy saving, utilisation of energy from internal sources and from the surroundings, seasonal accumulation of energy and cooling during a warm period. Environmental and health-related issues were also taken into account.
