The utilization of Innovative, Eco-friendly recycled walls in the development of border regions' educational buildings in Egypt.

ABSTRACT: The construction sector plays a critical role in shaping social, economic, and environmental outcomes. It consumes about 19% of global energy and nearly half of the electricity used for building construction and operation. As a result, buildings are responsible for roughly one-third of global CO₂ emissions across their entire life cycle-from construction to operation and eventual demolition-making the sector a major driver of climate change and rising temperatures. For this reason, we argue that effective building design cannot be reduced to aesthetics or abstract concepts. It requires a holistic approach that combines thoughtful material selection, strategies to lower energy demand, and sustainable practices such as recycling. Passive design measures-such as optimizing building orientatio
