Clay has outstanding vapor-diffusion capacities, absorbs odors, does not collect static and dander, is mold resistant, has an extremely low embodied energy, and is locally available in abundance. With clay based building materials we can make buildings, tromme walls, floors, fences, benches, ovens, wallpaper glues, plasters and fine finish veneers. Learn about the ranges of applications for clay based building, how they can improve your built environment and how they can contribute to LEED projects large and small, as well as DIY projects! As part of the Center for Green Technology’s Green Tech University Program, one can earn credits toward AIA/CES: 2
