Mud proves to be an excellent material for circular design, requiring minimal energy from raw sourcing to building and eventual eco-friendly demolition, creating structures with a zero-energy footprint. Its proper thickness offers thermal insulation, reducing the need for HVAC systems and ensuring a comfortable indoor environment. Being a breathable material, it facilitates air movement, effectively controlling humidity levels.
