In the world of sustainable building practices, innovative techniques often arise from necessity. One fascinating method used in regions like Iran involves filling sandbags with mud to create sturdy, energy-efficient structures. This approach not only showcases traditional construction ingenuity but also helps keep interiors cool in extreme temperatures. As we explore modern construction methods, let's embrace the potential of combining contemporary technology with time-honored practices. What are your thoughts on these innovative building techniques? Weathertex Paul Michael Jason O'Hagan #SustainableBuilding #Innovation #TraditionalMethods #CoolingSolutions

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reaffirm our commitment to designing spaces where people and nature thrive in harmony. Sustainability is not just about the final product; it’s an integral part of the entire lifecycle of a building. From initial design and construction to use and maintenance, we incorporate sustainable practices every step of the way. By strategically positioning buildings to integrate with local ecosystems, we minimise disruption to natural processes and promote the growth and sustenance of native flora and fauna. As conscious architects and designers, we recognize the urgency of adopting innovative and environmentally conscious practices. Our dedication to creating spaces that prioritise both human well-being and the environment helps safeguard our planet's resources for future generations. #IMKArchitects #BiophilicArchitecture #SustainableDesign #Architecture #Sustainability

The growth and development of our communities have a large impact on our natural environment. Manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of buildings are responsible for the consumption of many of our natural resources, so maximizing efficiency and sustainability in this industry is essential to our community well-being. The design of green growth buildings and sustainable architecture is a must for our future cities. As our world's population grows, our minds must be at the forefront of how we can keep natural plant growth and materials, not lose them. #sustainablesolutions #sustainabilitydesign #sustainablesolutions #sustainabilitydesignconsultation #greenbuildingbc

In recent years, sustainability concept has become the common interest of numerous disciplines. The reason for this popularity is to perform the sustainable development. The Concept of Green Architecture, also known as “sustainable architecture” or “green building,” is the theory, science and style of buildings designed and constructed in accordance with environmentally friendly principles. Green architecture strives to minimize the number of resources consumed in the building's construction, use and operation, as well as curtailing the harm done to the environment through the emission, pollution and waste of its components. To design, construct, operate and maintain buildings energy, water and new materials are utilized as well as amounts of waste causing negative effects to health and environment is generated. In order to limit these effects and design environmentally sound and resource efficient buildings; “green building systems” must be introduced, clarified, understood and practiced. #sustinability #architecturesustainability #louvre #greenbuildings

1moRanjit, it’s great to see your thoughts on this topic. I completely agree — traditional materials are often underestimated, though they have great potential. I really like the construction technology using ‘eco-panels,’ where the panel is made of a wooden frame, and the interior is filled with compressed straw under high pressure. This creates very energy-efficient walls. In Europe, passive energy houses are built using this technology. I’ll soon describe this technology in detail in an article, as our company has experience in constructing such houses. As for sandbags filled with mud, it’s an effective method. It’s hard to imagine how to use it in modern homes in a way that also looks aesthetic, but from an energy efficiency standpoint, it sounds convincing.
