The roof angle at the north facade is designed like a wind
scoop to capture the NE prevailing wind.

The continuous bamboo screen at the south facade is designed to
capture the SE and SW prevailing winds.

Rainwater pours on roof catchment area of 80.5 sq.m.

It is then collected in a C Krete cistern which has a volume of 19.7 cu.m.
Sufficient to sustain ecoKubo’s water demand for a 54-day straight dry period!

Water then goes to low-flow faucets for lavatory, bidet, kitchen sink and shower.
![Page 46: ECOKUBO - Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102804/540330a0dab5ca1a4b8b45ed/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Greywater then goes to a 5.3 sq. m. - reed bed

the landscape gives off this water back to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration.
The whole water recycling process is therefore a closed-loop cycle!

C Krete wall system is basically rammed earth (typically site harvested) sandwiched by 2 bamboo mesh and then cement plaster at both sides.

EcoKubo uses this system for its interior walls, the elevated floor slabs at the kitchen and T&B, water cistern and the biological wastewater treatment structure.

Dry rice strawbales are set upon a moisture-protected base, stacked in a running bond, and secured with bamboo sticks.

The bale is then post tensioned with ropes to prevent extreme settling. The resulting assembly is finished with several layers of cement plaster.It is resistant to burning (ASTM E84-09) and pest infestation. EcoKubo uses this system for its exterior wall infill & roof insulation. The 0.4m thk bale walls designed has an R-42 value!
