Insulation
Hemp Technologies is
building healthy, sustainable homes from the ground up by
controlling soil gasses, incorporating Universal Design concepts
and reducing lifetime energy bills using Hemp, Lime, MgO, Recycled
Paper, Rainwater harvesting and many other 21st century
innovations.
It is beginning to be more widely understood how important it is to
design and construct buildings that perform in reality more than
just on paper. In order to do this we need to understand all the
properties of materials and building elements and how these
properties relate to real performance. There is no doubt that walls
should prevent as much heat loss as possible and they should
contribute to the feeling of comfort within the building.
This has led to two main schools of thought. The first looks to the
light weight structures that are highly insulated, possibly
manufactured off-site and generally made from synthetic materials.
The second looks back at traditional structures and identifies
those construction methods that have worked in the past to produce
comfortable homes with healthy internal environments and low energy
use.
Over the last few years it has become increasingly important for us
to consider sustainability in our building techniques. Over 50% of
carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) result directly from construction
and use of buildings.
Hemp Technologies offers complete design, build and project
management solutions for residential and commercial building
projects in partnership with Advanced
Living using
Hempcrete, Magnum® Board, Purepanel®, GroundAir MGR™ and
more....
Existing homes can also be upgraded to reduce energy costs and
provide added comfort and increased indoor air quality.
