How does hempcrete result in 30 to 60 % reduction in mechanical costs? I haven't seen any data supporting this. What makes hempcrete so much more expensive over traditional building methods?
It probably needs to be stressed that if you're painting a lime-plastered, hempcrete wall, you should be using a vapor-open mineral/silicate paint like KEIM.
Great video, Cait! Thanks for taking the time to create it. Would you be open to the idea of a follow up video about hemp-blocks as a construction material? (the kind that has the structural / load bearing supports built into the hemp block….From other YT vids I’ve seen it appears as if that could be a more applicable and realistic building product vs other application methods. Would love to know your ideas on that. Thanks!
