Zed Earth specifications WALLS Homes are built with walls made of specially engineered hollow masonry blocks and designer blocks. They are energy-efficient, and are part of microclimate architecture. These blocks ensure that heat gain inside the home is reduced by 3-4 deg C. We have used u-block lintel instead of concrete lintel with shuttering. Mortar usage is less in hollow blocks and hence, they are 50% lighter than normal solid blocks. As A result, the pace of construction is much faster. STONE COLUMNS Stone columns are placed at the entrance, verandah, and car parking. These are single-line dressed natural stones with less embodied energy.
