What’s Happened To The Term Energy

What happens if a tiny hole occurs in the wall? That’d be a great nesting place for rodents.Won’t there be added weight on the building from the soil and moisture from rain? I would be concerned about molds forming from the moist soil.I certainly don’t want my walls made out of straw bail.What’s happened to the term energy efficient home? I read the best definition of an energy efficient home follows:“The energy-efficient home acts as a smooth-functioning machine in which the equipment produces as much, if not more energy capacity than needed to operate the ideal human environment, including air quality, moisture conditions, temperature, and lighting. That is more than pitched roofs. Where will I put the soil when it needs repaired? When it needs mowed how does the mover get onto the roof? I already have enough lawn to mow.But, what I don’t get then is what green building means?I hear people suggest growing grass on my roof. Wouldn’t I need a flat roof? I heard flat roofs need repairs more frequently,.
