Lowtech Graph lists low-tech options for every need of a home. Here you can compare them, find tutorials to build them, and link them together into a circular system. Why low-tech?
Passive
Note: Cost, carbon and footprint are broad judgements against comparable building approaches, not measured figures.
Rubber or spring mounts placed under pumps, fans and other machines. They absorb the machine’s vibration instead of passing it into the floor and walls, where it would travel through the whole house. The equipment runs without a hum in every room.
This solution is not buildable as a DIY project.
none
The only option catalogued for this need so far, so there is nothing to compare it against.
We don’t list sizing or quantities, as the yield of each technique depends on the quality of its build. The catalogue compares options but doesn’t dimension them. Regulatory notes are indicative, with a French example, and need to be confirmed locally.
