does anyone on here live underground ?

[IRON CROSS]

  no not in your mom's basement underground housing... seems like you would save a lot of money on heating and cooling plus maintenance would be minimal..

funky, you should visit opal mining city Coober Pedy in South Aussie !.

Lived in apt that was half underground. Was great for energy. Kind of regret ever moving from there actually.

You have to be careful when you enter underground chambers that have been unoccupied.  Bacteria can "breath up" all the oxygen and people going in can suffocate.

 Telecom vaults have to be ventilated for 20 minutes before it is clear for crew to enter.


Underground living would entail the HVAC system being more of a "Life Support" system I would imagine.

HTexan...you in Austin?...you might have to worry about radon...

I have a hill block.  I intend to build a tunnel from the middle of the slope to the large basement of the workshop on the top of the hill.  About 100 feet.  I know it sounds nuts but it would be really cool.  Who has a tunnel?  I kind of want an underground pool too so I can feel like Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor.

The problem with underground is the mustiness.  Basement and tunnel would be atop a drainage plane and moisture barrier, with walls and tunnel ceiling having a moisture barrier and ventilation plenum.  Pumps and fans governed by sensors.

Why?

Granite bedrock in the ground...The one problem Houston doesn't have as far as underground construction is radon.  Locales with bedrock tend to have radon problems as far as cellars go.  Austin has bedrock.

I do love the idea of living underground, but there are a number of problems in the country where I live:
– Moisture can't be driven outside by heat. So you will need a dehumidifier in the space between the outside earth and the insulation. And good ventilation system (find more by link https://highperformancehvac.com/)
– Light.
– Permissions… no idea.

According to a few “industry experts”, everyone who posts on GetBig lives in their mother’s basement.

Would that industry expert be the guy with the pumpkin head and a body disorder named after him?
