11. Reconstruction and revitalization of current buildings made from natural materials

    Current buildings older than 100 years were built fully from natural materials with positive influence on health of people. During their reconstruction now are used usually present materials with high portion of embodied energy, very ofen with chemical background. Doctor's work should be aimed to reconstruction ofordinary houses with maintaining oftheir environmental properties, to increasing of their useable value' and lowering of their energetically consumption.
