Houses with no windows?

Join our free event, the Sustainable Home Week: Expanding on the video’s content, many ancient Middle Eastern civilizations also used techniques like adobe brick construction, which provided excellent thermal insulation and were made with local materials, reducing the carbon footprint. The thick adobe walls helped keep the interior of the houses cool during the day and warm at night, leveraging the natural thermal properties of the material. Another fascinating technique is the use of Mashrabiya, a form of wooden lattice that allowed cross ventilation and natural light to enter without letting direct heat in. This was common in countries like Egypt and Iraq and is one of the earliest forms of bioclimatic design. Today, these techniques are being revisited and combined with modern technologies to create more sustainable and efficient buildings. Examples include the use of vertical gardens for insulation and urban heat reduction, and solar energy systems to complement the energy needs of buildings. 👉 Now, we want to know from you: Which of these techniques do you think would be applicable in your country?
