Abstract

Can the reintroduction of a traditional building material lessen the emission of greenhouse gas emissions of the construction industry? The study below will present the search for the answer to this question. Given that the used hemp shives, compared to cement, have low mechanical strength but act as a great thermal insulator, I tried four recipes to find the best ratio among the elements after determining the bending, compressive and tensile strengths. The study also analyzes the price of hempcrete, comparing it to the price of hollow bricks, to examine the material’s viability from a financial perspective. Additionally, it compares the carbon dioxide emissions of hempcrete and bricks.
