How does rammed chalk contribute to sustainable construction in regions with chalk deposits?
Rammed chalk, also known as chalk cob or chalkcrete, is a sustainable building material made from locally available chalk deposits mixed with water and aggregates. It offers advantages such as thermal mass, breathability, and low embodied energy, suitable for walls, floors, and foundations in chalk-rich regions.
