The building industry is responsible for considerable energy consumption and the
production of large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Hence, reducing the …

Different fractions of hemp shives are used in the mixtures of the hemp–lime composite. The
market offers shives of different granulation. It depends on the type of industrial hemp and on …

This article focuses on the thermal bridging issues associated with interface of parkade
concrete suspended slab to base of wall. The study aims to determine the optimal length …

In order to limit the anthropic emissions of CO2, research is currently investigating new
materials for the building sector. The main purpose is the reduction in the embodied energy …

This article analyses the connection of the two types of floors on the ground (floors on joists
and self-supporting floors), with the external wall made of a hemp–lime composite for the …

The use of waste plants in the production of building materials is consistent with the
principles of sustainable development. One of the ideas involves using hemp shives as an …

The aim of the research presented in the article was to check the differences in the hygro-
thermal and mechanical properties of hemp-lime composites with different shives fractions …

Thermal bridges constitute a significant share in the overall heat losses through building
partitions. This is an important issue not only in traditional but also ecological buildings …

The paper presents the results of research concerning three fiber materials—mineral wool,
hemp fiber and wood wool—as loose-fill thermal insulation materials. The analysis used the …

In recent years, thermal insulation filled masonry blocks have become widespread in Central-
Europe. These blocks can satisfy thermal performance requirements without the need of …
