Hempcrete

objectives

The project aims to support the development and applications of Thailand-sourced hempcrete by achieving the following three objectives:

• Explore the use of different binder materials such as Thailand-sourced clay and lime and investigate their impact on hempcrete performance.
• Analyze the performance of hempcrete created from hemp hurds sourced from Thailand and various binder materials by conducting laboratory tests. Key performance characteristics that will be examined include thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and water permeability.
• Spread knowledge about hempcrete to various stakeholders, including students, hemp farmers, and processors.
