In addition to their aesthetic character, rammed earth constructions offer thermal and phonic qualities incomparable to those of concrete in particular. These constructions do not require any extra energy-input as the walls naturally keep the heat during the winter and allow air circulation during the summer. They are completely sustainable if properly looked after.
