Hemp-lime composite for buildings insulation: material properties and regulatory framework
Rosa Agliata, Simone Gianoglio, Luigi Mollo, 2019
The increasing demand for indoor comfort in housing sector, together with the development of environmental awareness by people and societies, is leading to a rising need of new construction materials. Research and industries are then developing materials capable of meeting environmental and technical requirements: made from renewable sources; based on natural compounds to ensure healthy indoor environment and safe disposal; having good insulation properties, especially for energy saving. A material showing these features is the hemp-lime biocomposite.
