Description

Fully illustrated with case studies and design details, this guide is the result of a Defra funded study commissioned by the National Non-Food Crops Centre.

Hemp Lime is a composite construction material that can be used as part of timber framed buildings, for walls and insulation of roofs and floors. It provides very good thermal and acoustic performance, and offers a genuinely zero-carbon contribution to sustainable construction. Comprehensive guidance on using this novel material for housing and low rise buildings is given for the first time in this book, which is full of practical information on materials, design and construction.
