Learn about the advanced technologies and innovative solutions the National Housing Authority (NHA) of Zambia employs to ensure sustainable and efficient housing development.
The National Housing Authority (NHA) is committed to embedding sustainability and eco-friendly practices into its housing projects. A prime example of this commitment is the state-of-the-art sewer management system implemented at Trees Inn Makeni, Lusaka. This system has revolutionised waste management and water purification, setting a new standard for environmental sustainability and operational efficiency in housing projects.
The sewer management system features several components to treat solid and liquid waste. Solid waste is processed through a sophisticated three-chamber system that facilitates efficient decomposition and minimises environmental impact.
Advanced filters populated with specialised bacteria break down organic matter and contaminants for liquid waste, gradually purifying the water. The purified water undergoes further treatment, including chlorination, ensuring its safety for various uses during and after the construction phase.
Beyond immediate applications, this treated water plays a crucial role in maintaining the housing complex’s aesthetic appeal by watering plants and sustaining the landscape. This innovative approach conserves valuable resources and serves as a benchmark for future projects, showcasing how advanced technology can harmonise with sustainable practices.
NHA’s dedication to integrating cutting-edge technologies extends beyond waste management. It enhances environmental friendliness and operational efficiency by leveraging modern construction methods and materials, such as prefabrication and modular construction. These methods reduce on-site waste, streamline construction processes, and promote the use of sustainable materials, furthering the commitment to eco-friendly development.
Moreover, NHA employs smart energy management systems and renewable energy sources like solar panels to reduce the ecological footprint of their projects. These technologies ensure that the developments are sustainable and economically viable, providing long-term benefits to both the environment and the community.
Stay tuned for the next article, where we will delve into how sustainability and eco-friendly construction practices are integral to NHA’s strategy. This exploration will reveal how NHA is leveraging innovative approaches to build a greener future for Zambia.
