A Review of Sustainable Implications of Energy‐Efficient Buildings in the Environment

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Construction industry is a major contributor to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for nearly 40% of the total. This review explores the role of energy‐efficient buildings in mitigating environmental impact, conserving resources and improving occupant well‐being.

Evaluating Chinese fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) varieties and planting dates in North Carolina

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Field trials were conducted in 2021 and 2022 to evaluate the effects of planting date (mid‐March, mid‐April, and mid‐May) on 11 fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L. <0.3% total tetrahydrocannabinol) varieties. Trials were conducted in Goldsboro, Kinston, and Salisbury, NC.

Structural benefits of hempcrete infill in timber stud walls [PDF]

International Journal of Sustainable Building Technology and Urban Development, 2013
Hempcrete is a bio-composite mix made up of hemp shives, lime, cement and water. Extensive research has shown that it has good thermal and acoustic insulation properties, and can passively regulate humidity in a built environment. However it has low compressive strength and modulus of elasticity and so cannot be used as a direct load bearing material ...

Environmental performance of eco‐design strategies applied to the building sector

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 556-572, June 2024.
Abstract The application of eco‐design principles in the building sector is considered a promising way to mitigate its substantial environmental impacts. However, quantitative evidence for this mitigation potential is lacking. The objective of this study was to quantify the environmental performance of diverse eco‐design strategies when applied to the ...

Accelerated Aging of Hempcrete Insulation for Durability Assessment

2025 Buildings XVI International Conference
The construction sector contributes 37% of global emissions, making decarbonizing construction crucial. As operational carbon decreases over the next few decades, embodied carbon is becoming an increasingly significant area of investigation. One approach to reduce embodied carbon is shifting to bio-based building materials like hemp-lime insulation ...
