If successful, the plan could change the way homes are built globally including hot regions like MENA and the GCC, the statement notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introducing the Energy House 2.0:<\/strong> The world-first concept is a specially-designed and built climate chamber that will simulate temperatures ranging from -20\u00b0C to +40\u00b0C. The chamber \u2014 the biggest of its kind globally \u2014 is also set to simulate wind, rain, snow and solar radiation. The global developer and manufacturer built a three-bedroom family house \u2014 known as eHome2 \u2014 within Energy House 2.0 to test the climate resilient building design. The home will also examine a set zero carbon performance in varying temperatures and weather conditions to recreate extreme climate conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The details:<\/strong> eHome2 will be home to an advanced timber frame solution, pre-insulated walls, and lightweight render-based bricks. The home can also be fully built in 3 to 3.5 months \u2014 half of the time needed to construct a basic standard home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is this important?<\/strong> A 2022 report by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/the-implications-of-climate-change\/\">Greenpeace<\/a> found that MENA is warming nearly twice as fast as the global average \u2014 with temperatures increasing at a rate of 0.4\u00b0C per decade since the 1980s. Buildings in the MENA region consume up to 80% of the electricity generated due to reliance on power air conditioning during usually hot seasons, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityscape-intelligence.com\/architecture\/how-menas-architecture-industry-fighting-climate-change\">Cityscape Intelligence<\/a>. That\u2019s why several countries in the region have embarked on sustainable designs, reviving traditional architecture and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/59376411-8296-47dc-87cc-43ddc792bba4\">district cooling systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The region\u2019s getting a helping hand:<\/strong> Germany\u2019s International Climate Initiative rolled out a EUR 5.7 mn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.international-climate-initiative.com\/en\/project\/build-me-boosting-ambitions-to-achieve-a-climate-neutral-building-standard-in-the-mena-region-16-i-276-mena-a-0-emission-gebaeude\/\">BUILD ME initiative<\/a> which aims to introduce an energy classification system for buildings to streamline finance access for buildings that meet sustainability criteria.
