The ELM’s reduced carbon footprint and off-grid systems support the UN's sustainable development goals: reduced energy needs limit the financial resources necessary to produce housing, renewable bio-based materials preserve rural landscapes and finite resources, and – if aggregated at a global scale – low-carbon residential development can dramatically reduce climate change.
