dc.description.abstractThis literature research presents a direct comparison between the hemp-lime concrete usually known as hempcrete, and the commonly used concrete unit blocks as an envelope building material. As in the recent decades thee has been an increased awareness of our impact in the environment and the implications to the natural resources, new construction methods and better performing materials are becoming available to improve our way of living while being environmentally conscious. Since there is no such thing as an environmentally perfect material, product selection for green buildings is therefore a process of evaluation and compromise, seeking the best overall solution for a given program and budget. Products and systems must demonstrate reduced life-cycle energy consumption, increased recycled content, and minimal waste products in manufacture, construction, use, and demolition.
