RE: Hempcrete: The Future Of Construction?
thank you for a very interesting post. I wonder if hemp is easier to produce and if it requires less energy than regular cement and if it is as resistant as cement. For example, can you build a 5 storeys building with hemp or should we see hemp more of a substitue for wood?
I believe cement has a very high carbon impact as it needs high temperatures to make https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_concrete
hemp is not load-bearing, so the limitation is set by the structural frame.
