Climate-House-System

Key Points

This research explores the Climate-House System's role in enhancing climate resilience and food security.
Developed a decentralized infrastructure consisting of Climate Houses and Central Hubs.
Analyzed ambient temperature reductions and productivity of growing areas.
Utilized environmental data for economic benefit for the community.
Climate Houses reduce ambient temperatures by up to 5°C.
A cluster of 25 houses and 5 hubs can sustain 45 people.
Implemented system fully relies on community ownership with minimal external dependencies.

Abstract

V7 added Proposal for StakeholderV5 added Project Summary (PDF)V3 added (tailored to Kunene Region/Pilot)V2 added System UpdatesV1 Original from KIPT-ProjectThe Climate-House System is a decentralized, nature-integrated infrastructure for climate resilience and food security in tropical hot zones. Climate Houses made of clay stabilize the microclimate, reducing ambient temperatures by up to 5°C and creating productive growing areas. Optional Central Hubs process harvests into shelf-stable foods, while automatically collected environmental data can be marketed – with revenues going directly to the community. A cluster of 25 houses and 5 hubs fully sustains 45 people, stabilizes several hectares of land, and is designed to be community owned/led – with minimal external dependencies.
