HOW DO WE BREAK DOWN ACONCEPT LIKE
ZERO NET ENERGY ARCHITECTURE?
"A Zero Net Energy Building is one that is optimally efficient, and over the course
of the year, generates energy on site using clean renewable resources, in a
quantity equal to or greater than the total amount of energy consumed on site”

Case Study: The Concrete Block
Concrete is NOT dead. The Dangote Factor and Concrete. Costs
New Applications of Concrete:
.
PROJECTIONS
 The Parable of Workers in a Vineyard : Africa will Leapfrog the World in embracing Green
Buildings.
 Lack of widespread formal theory needs not be an impediment: Case of Jet Engine,
Tinkering and Trial & Error as a substitute for “Intelligence”.
 Every technology depends on how far are you willing to push it.

MOVING CONCRETE TO CIRCULAR PRODUCTION
Circular Production adds a “back to life” cycle to the orthodox Life Cycle – Umair Haque
1. Waste Does not Die
. 2. Reproduce Outputs
3. Intensive resource
use without Depletion
4. Economies of Cycle
Reduce average costs.
5. Each cycle offsets Fixed
Costs
6. ReUse, ReCycle,ReMnf
7. Reproduction of Materials
8. Reverse Logistics –
Get it Back
9. Spinning the Value Cycle.
Value Chains are one Way
