This methodology focuses on reducing CO₂ emissions throughout a building’s lifecycle by utilizing low-impact, locally sourced materials like raw earth blocks and integrating energy-efficient solutions for heating, cooling, lighting, and cooking tailored to rural needs. These measures significantly lower the carbon footprint compared to conventional construction, addressing the housing deficit in Sub-Saharan Africa while aligning with greenhouse gas reduction targets.
