A one day symposium on zero/low carbon sustainable homes took place at The University of Nottingham on the 24th October, 2012. The event offered professionals within the construction industry a unique opportunity to gain added and significant insight into the innovations, policies and legislation which are driving the construction of zero/low carbon energy efficient homes both here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. It explored solutions to sustainability issues “beyond” the zero carbon agenda. BZCH followed on from the successful ‘Towards Zero Carbon Housing’ symposium the University hosted in 2007. This event is part of the Europe Wide Ten Act10n project which is supported by the European Commission Intelligent Energy Europe.
This document contains details and specifications for three different residential wall systems:
1) A standard 2x6 wood frame wall with fiber cement board siding that is 7 inches thick and has an R-value of 18.1.
2) A standard 2x6 wood frame wall with brick veneer that is 11.5 inches thick and has an R-value of 17.5.
3) A standard CMU (concrete masonry unit) wall with stucco exterior that is 10.75 inches thick and has an R-value of 6.5.
E84 Surface Burning Characteristics test measures the flame spread and smoke developed indexes of building materials when exposed to open flame. The test exposes a 24 ft by 20 in specimen to a controlled air flow and flaming fire to measure how flame spreads along the surface. This test provides only comparative measurements of surface flame spread and smoke density to red oak and cement board, and does not classify a material as noncombustible or measure heat transmission. Proper specimen size and method of support must be followed according to ASTM E84 guidelines.
This document provides details of a residential wall system that uses Tradical Hemcrete, an internal wood frame, and either a lime render or brick veneer exterior. The wall system offers an R-value of 35.5, requires only 2 trades, has a thickness of around 13 inches, and sequesters 4.1 kg of carbon dioxide per square foot. Material costs are approximately $29 per square foot.
Thermal performance of hemcrete with photoslimetech
Hempcrete has superior dynamic thermal performance compared to other materials like mineral wool and cellular concrete due to its higher heat capacity and lower thermal diffusivity. Laboratory and simulation tests show hempcrete walls take longer to reach a steady state of heat transfer in response to temperature changes and lose less energy in the first 24 hours. Hempcrete also provides better dampening of temperature fluctuations and more stable indoor temperatures. Its hygroscopic properties and moisture storage further improve thermal regulation.
The document discusses the thermal and hygrothermal properties of Hemcrete, including its low thermal diffusivity and ability to buffer changes in humidity. Hemcrete has a thermal inertia similar to high thermal mass materials and allows walls to feel cool, while keeping interior environments comfortable. Hemcrete also has very low air permeability and does not experience significant thermal bridging through timber frames. Testing has shown Hemcrete walls can withstand fire for over 90 minutes.
This document lists recent and future building projects for an organization including a private house, spa, retail store, housing developments, sustainability institute, warehouse, and food storage facility. Dates and websites are provided for each project along with a quote about predicting and creating the future.
The document discusses the thermal and hygrothermal properties of Hemcrete, including its low thermal diffusivity and ability to buffer changes in humidity. Hemcrete has a thermal inertia similar to high thermal mass materials and allows buildings to maintain stable indoor temperatures without large swings. Testing shows Hemcrete walls can achieve air tightness below 2m3/m2/hr and do not have significant thermal bridging from timber framing.
The document discusses the benefits of hempcrete, a building material made from hemp hurds, lime, and water. It notes that hempcrete has low environmental impacts and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere. The document also outlines the history of lime and hemp construction, describes how hempcrete is processed and used, and discusses its advantages like improved thermal properties and indoor air quality. It proposes a partnership to promote the use of hempcrete in the US.
U.S. Heritage Group was founded in 1997 to educate others about traditional masonry design and performance. They held their first lime mortar workshop at the U.S. Capitol in 1998 and have assisted numerous historic building restoration projects through on-site training, mortar testing, and custom blended repointing mortars. They also publish a magazine called Traditional Masonry for architects and building owners involved in historic masonry restoration.
The document discusses the growing market for sustainable building materials in the United States. It notes that by 2035, 80% of the built environment will be new or renovated, presenting an opportunity to use more sustainable materials. Additionally, the document outlines the 2030 Challenge to make all new buildings carbon neutral by 2030 in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the building sector. It promotes Hemcrete as a sustainable building material that can help meet this challenge.
American lime technology delegate presentationlimetech
Buildings are responsible for significant environmental impacts through waste production, carbon emissions, energy consumption, and water use. The US builds and renovates large amounts of construction each year, and over the next 30 years most of the built environment will be new or renovated. The market for sustainable building materials is growing while the overall construction market is declining, with sales projected to increase to $60 billion by 2030. The 2030 Challenge calls for all new buildings and renovations to be carbon neutral by 2030, emitting no net carbon dioxide from operations.
American lime tech business plan outline 082409limetech
American Lime Technology aims to launch Hemcrete, a building material made from lime and hemp, in North America over 1-3 years. Its objectives in year one include supplying materials for 100 homes, establishing a North American hemp supply chain, conducting product testing, and developing educational programs. In three years, it aims to secure regional distributors, complete product certification, and have annual projects of 1,000 units. Key elements for success include developing local hemp sourcing and trained installers, while obstacles could include hemp regulations and varying building codes.

This document summarizes the construction of a community center building using hempcrete, a building material made of hemp shiv, lime, and water. Over three days, volunteers removed wood siding from the existing building to use as shuttering forms and installed 320 cubic feet of hempcrete on the interior and exterior walls. The hempcrete was mixed by hand, shoveled into place in layers, and tamped down. Once dried, the interior walls will receive lime plaster and the exterior will get a lime render finish and limewash coating. The project demonstrates the use of hempcrete, a sustainable building material made from hemp and lime.
