Abstract
According to the website of Mary Robinson Foundation for Climate Justice, 2.7 Million people worldwide, most of them being extremely poor and 1.3 billion of them with no access to electricity, rely on solid fuels such as traditional biomass and coal for cooking and heating. In this world where a number of experts are concentrating their research on finding alternative and environmentally friendly energy sources, masses of existing buildings are being demolished causing energy loss and polluting the environment with demolition waste. These demolitions are justified through the conventional scientific belief introduced by modernity that older buildings are of poor quality.
This chapter aims to look to the debate in regard of the heath loss issues in existing buildings and point out to new research and alternative methodological approaches to provide proof of the current underestimation of the thermal transmissivity of traditionally built walls, the main reason leading to their demolition.
