Abstract

The link between clay brick construction for housing and superior quality of living delivered most cost-effectively is supported by a number of attributes specific to clay brick as a building material. With mineral properties recognised for meeting the requirements for healthy living and its natural capacity to manage the sun's energy and support superior indoor thermal comfort conditions, clay brick offers advantages over alternative lightweight building systems such as Light Steel Frame Building (LSFB).
