TITLE

Hemp as building material for energy efficient wooden houses

OBJECTIVE

Research will be done on hemp and wood, both renewable raw materials, as building material in the contruction of low energy wooden houses. The Focus will be the ecological aspect while renouncing chemical treatment and application of synthetic fibres in the insulation material made of hemp. New ways will be taken to get results, which correspond to the ecological and heath demands, e.g. the used hemp and wooden building material can be composted, will create a healthy climate for living, cause a reduction of the Co2 production and will avoid health risks for the workers in the construction industry.
