Sustainable Approach
The El Cosmico project is a testament to the potential of 3D printing in sustainable building. The project's design and construction process are optimized for minimal environmental impact, with a focus on:
- Locally Sourced Materials: The use of locally sourced materials, such as sand, soils, and colors of the terroir, reduces the carbon footprint of the project.
- Energy Efficiency: The buildings are designed to be energy efficient, with features such as large windows and insulation that minimize heat gain and loss.
- Water Conservation: The project incorporates water-conserving measures, such as low-flow fixtures and greywater reuse systems.
