SXSW Presents: Carbon Zero Building with Hemp Materials, Austin TX

HempBuildMag.com presents the future of building materials: Industrial Hemp.

Used in Europe for 30 years, fast growing carbon-sequestering industrial hemp can be manufactured into insulation, wall assemblies, flooring and more to create all-natural non-toxic homes. Meet three successful hemp builders who have built homes around the world using simple, natural materials.

Takeaways

  1. Building a hemp home can be cheaper than conventional construction, and will be fire resistant, mold-roof and pest-proof.

  2. Non-toxic natural building materials such as hemp and lime are simple, long-lasting building solutions that moderate temperature and moisture.

  3. Carbon sequestered in wall assemblies by industrial hemp can reduce the embodied greenhouse gases of a home by more than 30%.
