Bio-based insulation materials (such as wood or hemp) are emerging as a promising
alternative in building envelope applications, aiming at improving in-use energy efficiency …

A growing awareness of the environmental impact of construction materials is leading to
development of more sustainable building products, with particular attention focussed on bio …

Bio-based building materials are composites of vegetal particles embedded in an organic or
mineral matrix. Their multi-scale porous structure confers to them interesting thermal …

This work describes a new class of sandwich panels made of hemp fibre composites and
eco-friendly core materials (balsa, paper honeycomb and recycled polyethylene …

This research explores the carbon removal of a novel bio-insulation composite, here called
MycoBamboo, based on the combination of bamboo particles and mycelium as binder. First …

Domestic cooling demands in arid and hot climate regions, including Qatar, induce a
significant challenge to reduce the area's cooling energy consumption and carbon footprint …

Along the hot-humid belt, rapidly developing countries that lack affordable building materials
have overlooked the potential of agricultural wastes as alternative resources. Globally, 140 …

Mycelium-based composites (MBCs) are eco-friendly materials made by combining
mushroom mycelia with lignocellulosic biomass, offering diverse applications such as …

The demand for building materials has been constantly increasing, which leads to excessive
