Abstract

The need of alternative material for red brick has increased in recent days. It is caused by the high amount of firewood needed during the production process. Meanwhile, the availability of firewood is significantly reduced. Compression Earth Block (CEB) is one of the wall material alternative using local soil without combustion process. The weakness of this block is the weight. The density of CEB is 1600 kg/m3 minimum. So that the research used sawdust from wood factory waste as a mixture to reduce the density of the block. The production of CEB and sawdust is not commonly found in the practice. So that it is important to spread the information about how to make the block on rural area (such as villages). The knowledge transfer was done by giving workshop for people who were interested and able to develop the workshop further. During the workshop, the researcher explained the importance of this building material and the relativity for the environment beneficial. The expected result from this workshop is that the participants are able to understand the importance of using factory waste as an alternative material to substitute traditional red brick.
