Biogenic Housing with Hempcrete

Description:

Hemp-lime or "hempcrete" is a biogenic building material that can turn the construction industry's carbon problem on its head. What if our built environment could be a carbon sink that sequestered greenhouse gasses for hundreds of years? The US Department of Energy definition f a "Zero-Emissions Building" includes bio based building materials. Experienced hempcrete builders from Ukraine, New Orleans and San Antonio, TX explore how all-natural hempcrete buildings can reduce energy costs by up to 60 percent and lower embodied carbon in homes and ADUs.
