Sustainable housing strategies for rural Mozambique – seeking insights and feedback

Sustainable housing strategies for rural Mozambique – seeking insights and feedback

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on my master’s dissertation focused on sustainable housing solutions for rural communities in Mozambique, specifically looking at improving thermal comfort and indoor air quality using passive design strategies and local materials (e.g., wattle and daub).

I’m modeling some scenarios using DesignBuilder and referencing passive cooling concepts like stack effect, cross ventilation, and the use of natural shading.

I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in: • Designing for hot-humid climates • Passive strategies for low-resource settings • Retrofitting traditional rural dwellings • Community-based sustainable housing projects in Africa or similar contexts

Any articles, examples, or ideas would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!

Berries only showing growth on bottom

Berries only showing growth on bottom

Both my Loganberry and Raspberry (Heritage) are only showing growth on the bottom. I am not sure about them budding; if they are, their buds must be very small!?

I wonder if both bushes are showing signs of die back. Our winter was rather mild but the winds were strong.

I am not sure what else could explain this, unless this is totally normal?
