Hemp Building Ukraine
The most important advantage of hemp building materials is that it helps to improve the overall health and physiological comfort of people living in buildings made with hemp ingredients for modern construction technologies. And most importantly, hemp building materials except other than construction and performance have another great advantage - can significantly reduce the financial resources are used not only in the operation of the building, but also for its construction.
The hemp construction, actively developing in recent years in our country, there are several tens of technologies, each of which has positioned itself as a highly effective, the only correct and maximum energy saving. Do not attempt to analyze the pros and cons of already created or virtual projects, provide basic approaches to the use of hemp raw materials in construction.
According to information provided by the European Industrial Hemp Association (European Industrial Hemp Association - EIHA) at the 13th International Conference in 2016, the number of cannabis kostra used as a building material, is gradually increased and reached the 2013 level of 16% of the total market.
From hemp kostra can build load-bearing walls or warm (to decorate) existing buildings and structures
The interior - architectural and decorating the interior of the building
Exterior - artistic or architectural appearance, the design of the building
Insulation of existing surfaces
In addition to the walls of the building in Ukraine is actively insulated roofs of different species
pitched flat conical dome
or floors
It is not necessary to discuss the elementary building blending technology hemp kostra with cement or lime, which are positioned on the Ukrainian market as an environmentally friendly, durable and energy efficient. This technology of the last century, the construction of buildings and structures of which are not tenable in principle. I would like to focus on modern technologies, allowing to use the natural properties of hemp raw materials as efficiently as possible. Competent hemp construction technology, not only can significantly save on the cost of building materials, but also to use these exclusive properties of hemp building materials:
• 100% natural vapor permeable insulation without cement content, harmful chemicals and toxic substances;
• extremely energy-saving insulation material with high thermal characteristics, due to which you can save from 30 to 50% of heating and cooling the house compared to traditional heaters;
• the ability to control the relative humidity in the home due to their high hygroscopic properties;
• a negative carbon footprint (English: carbon negative footprint) - uptake more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than the ability to discharge into the atmosphere during manufacture, installation and operation;
• the possibility of warming of any surfaces: walls, roofs, attics, floors, etc.
• non-flammability, the inability to cover the mold and prevent the appearance of rodents;
• Low density (270 kg / m3), allows to improve its thermal performance (λ = 0.06 W / (m * K);
• simplicity of construction and further operation.
However, the most important benefit of hemp building materials is that it helps to improve the overall health and physiological comfort of people living in buildings made with hemp ingredients for modern construction technologies. And most importantly, hemp building materials except other than construction and performance have another great advantage - can significantly reduce the financial resources are used not only in the operation of the building, but also for its construction.
An example of an integrated approach to the repair of the existing building with hemp materials and modern construction techniques - Yoga Studio (insulation hemp kostra, Kiev)
