Tips on #Greenbuilding in Ugandan context.

Tips on #Greenbuilding - the Ugandan context.
#Site selection
In yesterday’s tip, #infrastructure refers to roads, electricity, water, sewage, communication, security etc.
Without public infrastructure, it’ll cost you 30-40% more to develop and use a rural or periurban plot.
For the next few days, I will post some basic tips of #greenbuilding for all prospective Ugandan developers.
1. While choosing a site to buy and develop, mind its connectivity to basic infrastructure. The more peripheral it is, the more energy and cost used to access and use it.
@DagmarZwebe@ntvuganda Well, it’s a win. I note that some parts of the interview were cut out but it’s important to break down green building to easiest expressions for all to understand!
@conradgoodmanK@DagmarZwebe@ntvuganda This is a good idea, I think it’s important to break the term down to the lay man to understand it and best through media
@Innovug@falasico@falasico the innovation from @Innovug was not mentioned in the X, but even common interventions are welcome to address the housing issue. Kudos @Innovug
