Local traditional bio based materials as a model
for the future
Sanela Klarić
International Burch University, Bosnia and Herzegovina
T
he materials nowadays have important role in all sectors
of human activities. Construction sector, is one of most
polluted ones, which is facing several challenges that could
be partially resolved by use of local, traditional, bio based
construction materials. Good traditional, practical examples
still exist in our close surrounding. Those examples very often
present sustainablewayof livingwithexcellent correlationwith
nature and location, very good knowledge about local natural
materials, renewable energy use as well as sustainable use of
all resources on the location. Those traditional houses present
affordable, optimal, healthy way of living which we strive for.
Unfortunately, most of that local bio based materials today
present the waste or their exploration is unsustainable. This
paper will present some of the researches about traditional
local natural bio based materials (wood, sheep wool, straw,
clay, lime) and their properties in comparison with most used
ones today in construction sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina
(BiH) region. Focus of this researchwill be on green properties
such as CO
2
emission and PGW. Additional to that, paper
will present experiences through building of an example
and will discuss future needs for sustainable development of
construction bio based industry as well as other innovative
technology needed to support comprehensive development
of bio based construction sector. Discussion will show a lot
of potential as well as obstacles and huge needs of strategic
approach to this issue in BiH region.
