Vernacular construction techniques draw on centuries of wisdom, honing simplicity and efficiency, perfectly aligning with local climates and resources while advocating for sustainable, energy-friendly designs.
In regions with colder climates, the focus shifts from cooling to heat retention, utilizing materials with high thermal mass to absorb and gradually release heat, enhancing internal temperature stability.
The greenhouse effect in construction not only conserves solar energy for heating adjacent spaces but also creates ideal conditions for plant growth and comfort in adverse weather.
Subterranean structures leverage the Earth's thermal stability, providing effective temperature regulation throughout seasons, and when complemented with passive solar designs, minimize reliance on mechanical systems.
