Hygrothermal properties of light-earth building materials
Journal of Building Engineering, 2020 Abstract This experimental study provides complete datasets of hygrothermal properties of numerous hemp-clay with density ranging from 200 to 350 kg m-3 for building thermal insulation. In addition, attention is also paid on protocols and methods, on the measurements repeatability and on the influence of conditioning temperature and relative humidity:

Hygrothermal properties of advanced bio-based insulation materials
Energy and Buildings, 2021 Abstract Hygrothermal performance of buildings is one key element to the sustainable design, health, and comfort of the indoor environment. Building sustainability depends on all associated lifespan stages, from building design and material production to demounting and waste management.
