Abstract

The chapter delves into the sustainability benefits of hemp-concrete, a green building material derived from the Cannabis Sativa L. plant. It discusses the historical use and recent rediscovery of hemp in construction, focusing on its superior insulation properties, low thermal conductivity, and excellent acoustic performance. The text also explores the eco-efficiency of hemp-concrete, its mechanical and physical properties, and its potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry. Despite some drawbacks, such as low mechanical strength and water retention, the chapter argues that the advantages of hemp-concrete make it a valuable resource for sustainable construction. The future prospects of hemp-concrete are promising, with its potential to absorb carbon and provide better insulation than traditional concrete.
