Would have preferred to see a lot more of the construction techniques and hear at lot less talking. I had to skip through a lot of your video.
With hemp now legal in the U.S., this is even more promising.
Such good news for humanity.
Great inside look here, thanks to all parties involved. I see the Hempbassadors involved with this project a bit too, I figured they might be. Hemp is awesome and government is not.
What's the cost per square metre?
I'm guessing the walls are covered by some sort of render/plaster? Which is too bad as it looks so great inn its natural state.
President Trump just legalize industrial hemp nation wide, so this is going to be HUGE for construction and many other fields in America.
The labor cost is too high, and the R-value at 2.1 per inch is on the low side for an insulation material. Polyurethane Foam (foamed on site) has an R-value of 6.25 per inch. R-values for fiberglass rolled batt insulation are typically between 2.9 and 3.8 per inch. R-value of cork is 3.00 per inch.
Hempcrete is also a misnomer since it has nothing to do with concrete. It's not made using concrete and isn't near as strong as concrete. Hemplime would be a more honest term. It's not strong enough to build a load-bearing wall from it without additional framing.
Whats the price difference i wonder? Would it check through americas fire safety limitations? Because we should totally do this here!
Nice video, very informative. Question: Could the same process be done with any other material or is there something very special about hemp?
Pretty cool! But wouldn't wheat or barley or any cellulose structure work exactly the same? Or is there some distinct advantage that hemp carries in its composition that I'm missing?
I love your vids, but I would even more love to see how us normal people could incorporate minimalism and environmentally friendly living into our lives. Most of the people featured in your videos are wealthy individuals that can afford to use these alternative building materials and designs, but in reality, the majority of us are hindered by high costs and heavy regulations.
