 dings account for nearly 50% of the 
 overall energy used in OECD countrie
 s. 40% are Operational Energy (OE), 
 the energy used to heat, cool and li
 ght buildings, and operate their mec
 hanical, electrical and electronic s
 ystems. Another 10%, called Embodied
  Energy (EE), are invested in the ma
 terials, from extraction of raw mate
 rials and their processing into buil
 ding materials, their transportation
  and the construction of the buildin
 gs.\n Among other attempts to lower 
 this vast amount of energy, efforts 
 have been invested in the upgrade an
 d use of natural low EE materials, s
 ome of them used in the past (e.g., 
 clays, adobe, rammed earth, light st
 raw-clay), others developed in recen
 t years (e.g., hempcrete and myceliu
 m). When appropriately used, such ma
 terials can also lower the OE of the
  buildings, by absorbing and releasi
 ng heat and humidity, thus creating 
 a healthier indoor environment.\n Th
 is seminar, jointly organized by the
  Technical University of Crete (TUC)
 , Greece, and the Ben-Gurion Univers
 ity of the Negev (BGU),  Israel, wil
 l present and review critically rese
 arch and pilot projects, breakthroug
 hs and the potential embedded in suc
 h materials, alongside their limitat
 ions and constraints, many of them s
 hared by the two countries.\n Partic
 ipation is free and no registration 
 is needed for this meeting\n
