Looking to Traditional for Low-Carbo Design

Tradition isn’t nostalgia—it’s a toolkit.

El-Wakil’s work shows how courtyards, solar control, ventilation paths, and material choices turn tradition into measurable performance in hot-humid sites. Start with passive form → then efficient systems → then certify (LEED v4.1).

Why now? Buildings are ~37% of energy/process CO₂ and ~34% of global energy demand (GlobalABC 2024).
