Here, termite mounds are seen to be oriented to capture as much wind energy as possible, to ventilate the nest and achieve 'homeostasis' - an internal balance with little variation in temperature, humidity and air quality. Heating/Cooling diagram 14 Eastgate uses 35 percent less energy than the average consumption of six other conventional buildings in Harare, and the client has saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building due to the fact that no air-conditioning plant had to be imported. This is what makes Pearce say that his architecture is a “regionalized style that responds to the biosphere, to the ancient traditional stone architecture of Great Zimbabwe, and to local human resources."
