# 2024 Geo-Therm Panels |
|
This innovative solution tackles the high energy consumption and CO2 emissions associated with traditional building materials. The project develops lightweight geopolymer insulation panels made from industrial waste, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional materials. By repurposing waste into durable and thermally efficient panels, the energy needed for heating and cooling buildings is significantly reduced. This not only lowers energy bills but also minimises landfill waste and lowers overall environmental impact
My name is Maryam Harbag, a Green Building Engineer with a master’s degree in Green Building Engineering and Energy Efficiency. My career focuses on developing sustainable construction materials, including lightweight geopolymer thermal insulation panels and compressed earth bricks with olive waste. Through programs like MIT Sandbox Explorer and U-Founders, I’ve collaborated with innovators to promote sustainable construction and circular economy practices by integrating bio-based resources into modern building techniquesmore
