CAUSE FOR ACTION
1. Top 3 items in national budget are
linked to reversable public practices
CAUSE FOR ACTION
2. Highest consumer of utilities
In Kuwait is the Residential Sector
CAUSE FOR ACTION
3. The financial impact nationally
and domestically
THATI
It is an Individual Social Responsibility (ISR) driven project
aimed to provide arid zone self-sufficiency
model based on personal understanding of
Health and Permaculture
REGENERATIVE HEALTH
Based on 3 health conditions and 5 health components:
- Built on Function “to take action”
- According to system context
- To be published in details later -
THATI DEVELOPMENT
Took 7 years of preparation and with
much support locally and internationally
to make the concept and establish the model
THATI MODEL
Design consideration (↓ 40% cooling load)
Greywater application (50% re-harvest)
Fresh/Rain water harvest (↓10KD/Kgal)
Mulch use (↓ 25-70% freshwater use)
THATI MODELWater sys. Energy sys. Self-Sufficiency
- Water Fixtures
- Greywater Recycle
- Runoff Harvesting
- Water Battery “mulch”
- SMART Infrastructure
- Design consideration
- Heat Insulation
- Materials (color, uPVC and walls)
- HVAC Efficiency
- Lighting Options (LED, natural
lighting & motion sensors)
- SMART Infrastructure
