Thermal Responses of Stabilized Rammed Earth for Colder Climatic Regions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper focuses on thermal properties for laboratory simulation testing to ascertain the viability of low-cement, Stabilized Rammed Earth (CSRE) as an ecological and sustainable envelope structure for colder regions. The results will be used to create a point of reference for the thermal performance of vernacular CSRE architecture, which could be integrated into building law, norms or standards by interested institutions.
