How to build with Hempcrete: Material Selection

[@ilda2768]

Thank you for creating these videos! Looking forward to the next part.

I'm loving living in my hempcrete home in South West Sydney.

awesome to hear!

[@davidvanvliet5127]

Always solid information from Chris based on research and first hand practical experience.

[@BuildersforClimateAction]

I appreciate that!

[@jamlo3278]

Very interested in this obvious solution to building. I'm new to your informative channel and planning to build a structure myself soon. Looking to grow and produce myself the hempcrete for project. So I will be definitely doing more research. Ty Sir!

Thats my man !! Thank u so much!

Interesting info about hemp shiv. Is there a follow-up about lime maybe?

[@AllTraderKorea]

Great explanation 👍! Will you also explain about what lime to use and if there is a need for any additives?

[@BuildersforClimateAction]

Thanks, All that info and much more can be found in our Hempcrete Masterclass. This video was just a sneak peak!

[@MegaOcee]

@@BuildersforClimateAction Hello I am interested. When and where can I access the class? Thank you so much.

Is hemp brick water proof

Hi Chris, do you have a clue how many tons of hempcrete does it take to build a 70 square meters house with a thickness of 14inch wall? Thank you!

[@amurgcodru]

You kind of need to provide more info... The questions of how much hempcrete is necessary depends if you want to insulate the floor, ceiling AND/OR roof (which inclination, etc) What's the house PERIMETRE? What's the wall length? Well, with the following info you can make your calculations. Hemp Hurd is 120~130 kg/m3 Hydrated lime is somewhere at 1900kg/m3 Water 1000kg/m3 When measuring -> 4 hemp hurd - 1 lime 1 water if 7mx10mx2.5 WITHOU floor, ceiling and roof hempcrete.. (7mx2.5m*2+10m*2.5m*2)*0.35m => +/- 30m3 of hempcrete material (use the previous measurings to calculate how much tons of each)

[@genocanabicea5779]

You want to include at least 20% fiber for strength.

Hi there. Thanks for your content. I am looking to build moulds for raised garden beds (as in this video -kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpXIlYCjqs9qrrs )so am not particularly fussy about insulating. What would you recommend for this? Thank you in advance.
