SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS
Rainwater harvesting to supplement site supply Raised roofs, screen walls & stack ventilation for passive cooling since the climate in Mwea is hot and humid Rice straw clay brick walling to promote circularity & sustainability
Locally available rice straw clay bricks which are easy to fabricate on site and require low technical skill
Locally available rice straw bale walls which are easy to fabricate on site and require low technical skill
Highly circular steel structure which is easily recoverable and is sourced from recycled material
