When climate change accelerates, Bangladesh looks like that deteriorates from cyclones, floods and increasing sea levels and displace millions of millions and strain the existing infrastructure. At the same time, the traditional production of clay bricks continues to deteriorate the environment and contributes to deforestation, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (greenhouse gas). In response to this, the Center for Housing and Building Research (HBRC) leads the efforts to develop sustainable, air -conditioned living space. The aim of promoting environmentally friendly materials as far as disposable and energy-efficient Block-Soll provide permanent, inexpensive houses and at the same time reduce environmental damage.
The most important projects of HBRC, including the Northeastern Flood Recovery Project (UNDP-HBRC), the portable living space for Rohingya refugees in Coxs Bazar and energy-efficient rural model houses, deal with climate-induced shift, lack of living and inadequate living conditions. These initiatives focus on sustainability, affordability and resilience and ensure long -term advantages for communities in need of protection.
For all the latest news, follow the Google News Channel from Daily Star. Bangladesh faces severe environmental challenges from agricultural land loss, deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions as well as endangered nutritional security and sustainability. The HBRC deals with these problems by developing environmentally friendly, durable and energy -efficient residential technologies. The innovations implemented in over ten projects received five prizes, including three internationals. Traditional clay stones worsen the deforestation, air pollution and arable land raving. HBRC promotes iron and energy-efficient blocks as inexpensive, durable and sustainable alternatives. Its air -conditioned living models improve comfort, air quality and affordability and promote a greener future.

To improve the effects, HBRC works with government agencies, NGOs and local communities. The programs for capacity structure train local craftsmen who promote economic growth and ensure high -quality construction. Reviews after the construction rate the performance of the accommodation and integrate the feedback from the community for continuous improvements. HBRC innovations have shortened the construction period by two to five times compared to conventional methods, which enables rapid housing to be used in areas affected by disasters.
HBRCS residential models are born on the sand that comes from locally instead of imported stone, which minimizes the environmental influences and at the same time improves the river navigation. These houses reduce greenhouse gas emissions, keep the interior temperatures 3–8 ° C lower than conventional houses and improve the air quality indoors. In addition, they are inexpensive and last three to four times longer than conventional structures.
With a view to the future, HBRC plans to expand its climate-reliable apartment to other disasters known from disasters, to integrate renewable energy and rainwater harvests and to work with political decision-makers to include travel apartments in national disaster management strategies and to scale training programs for qualified construction work.
