 Summary:
 Testing the mixtures of earth with other natural materials based on traditional experience should demonstrate how they can be improved and built in using less energy and more effective. The first phase of testing was conducted through a series of experiments in the laboratory practice classes with students within the subject of traditional materials. Testing on a large number of specimens showed that different mixes of earth with natural additives of organic and inorganic origin can result a building material of enviable characteristics suitable to use in modern conditions incorporating traditional experiences of construction.
