CNN report on eco friendly sustainable hemp house built in Asheville, NC. Benefits include carbon negative construction, breathability, and reduced cost of heating and cooling.
Imagine you had a building material that was energy-efficient, non-toxic and resistant to mold, insects and fire. The material may even have a higher R-value, or thermal resistance, than concrete, a claim that is still being investigated.
The only problem? The base of the Hempcrete creation is hemp, which comes from the cannabis sativa plant -- the same one that produces marijuana, which is a federally banned substance. Because of this, industrial hemp production is illegal in the United States.
Mind blowing technology, solutions, hidden knowledge, crazy videos, note worthy people and places.

ReplyDeleteThere's nothing to investigate, it will definitely have a better "R" value than concrete! Put your foot on an uninsulated concrete floor, or against a concrete wall ... the heat literally gets sucked out of your body to the point where if gets painful. Once concrete gets damp the "heat sink" effect is even worse.
