Projects
The projects, past and present, that EBUKI runs or supports, are driving our mission of fostering Earth Building and Sustainability in the Built Environment.
Do you have a project idea to find funding and submit applications in partnership with EBUKI?
See the New Project page for next steps.
The aims and outcomes of our projects span all of the pillars in Our Mission, and are run by Project Officers from within and outside of the EBUKI Executive Committee.
The evolution of EBUKI can be seen in the history of our projects. Even ‘past’ projects are very much alive, providing foundational bases for many of the current projects.
Take time exploring the list of our past and present projects, or search for something specific.
Funding comes from a range of public and third sector sources, as well as the subscriptions and generous donations from our members.
Achieving funding for a project can be a complex and time-consuming task, which is why EBUKI’s core funds from things like membership are so important in allowing the organisation to put time into funding applications, so that projects like the ones you see below can continue.

CobBauge
The cob houses that are commonly found in the Channel regions of France and Great Britain do not meet the current thermal regulations. So the objective of the CobBauge project is to create new cob materials and processes that are both economical and compliant with building standards while answering the needs for the preservation of the local historical heritage.
Funding: Interreg
