TRANSCRIPT

Zero Cement House

Disclaimer: The Pictures of this Non Cement House were not built by ChloroEarth but by a famous Sustainable Architect from South India who has passed on. He used materials from the forest and “mud| to build this house in a month.

The House Photographed is about 20 years old that I happened to vacationed in.

Size of House: 600 Sq.Ft. ApproximatelyApproximate Cost of Construction in 1995: ₹ 200,000 (USD:~3,000)

Impact

The worldwide trend in reducing the impact on the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the depletion of natural resources has instigated further product development in the area of Non Cement Structures that rival the strength of Cement but completely sustainable.

The removal of cement from the current cementitious product removes the material which has the highest contribution in respect of embodied energy and CO2 emissions.

External Roof: Rafters and Beams Can be replaced by ChloroEarth Bamboo:

Teak Pillars can be replaced by ChloroEarth Bamboo

No Cement: Bricks and Adobe “Plaster”

I wish they had exposed the mud bricks and adobe and give a more natural look.

Internal Cladding of Tiled Roof

This was exciting to see a similar thinking to ChloroEarth Composites.

Compressed from Coir and using a Cardanol Resin, The roof is completely waterproof and impervious to termites and insects.

Importantly, it does not conduct external heat to the interior of the house.

Same Light Ventilator: Tiled Roof is mere cladding

Only Artificial Parts are Vitrified Tiles
