Measures taken to reduce CO2 emissions

From raw material to manufacturing, construction, use and end of life, T-Serai incorporates measures for the reduction of gas emissions. The idea lies on the reuse of surplus material for the local manufacturing of modular insulating tapestries that configure a multiplicity of spaces for the changing needs of the displaced. The raw material is the surplus of fabric found locally. Manufacturing requires sewing machines, equipment that already exists in Jordanian refugee camps, and contributes to tailoring training recognised by the Jordanian Ministry of Labor. Tapestries are deployed on-site to minimize energy consumption on the heating of shelters or as adaptive social spaces. The T-Serai end of life has a minimal environmental impact, living no trace behind and dissolving to the soil.
