Nubian vault eco-construction in the sahelian and dry climate regions of Africa

The Programme for the Energy Efficiency of Buildings (PEEB) joins the Nubian Vault Association (AVN) in presenting the Nubian Vault construction technique, a validated response to environmental, social and economic challenges in many regions of Africa. This construction technique can be integrated into Agence Française de Développement (AFD) projects in eligible regions.

The guide aims to encourage project owners, project managers and construction sector players working in sub-Saharan Africa to rediscover the art of building and roofing using
one of the world’s oldest building materials: earth.
