Eco-Building

The Eco Building Industry House is dedicated to advancing the practice of creating environmentally friendly buildings that honor African architecture and heritage.

Eco-building, also known as Green Building/sustainable construction, represents a transformative approach to urban development that harmonizes human habitation with environmental stewardship. This innovative practice involves designing and constructing buildings that minimize ecological footprints, enhance energy efficiency, amplify vernacular architectural elements respective of the culture of the community where the structure(s) are built and utilization of locally-sourced, natural, sustainable materials + labor.

By integrating these principles, the Eco-Building Industry House aims to foster resilient communities, reduce waste, and promote green spaces, all while preserving cultural integrity and promoting a sustainable future.
