Abstract

In the last years, the attention to an eco-friendly development of the building sector has increased the use of green materials, mainly because the construction sector is one of the most polluting. The hemplime block represents a valid option in this direction: it is a valuable product to improve the sustainability of the building. Like any new product, the main issues are given by the absence of specific rules, starting from the production phase until the installation. For this reason, the main objective of this work is to take a first step toward the long process of identifying possible guidelines for the production and the testing phase of the products to achieve a CE (European Commission) certification. Another essential aspect to clarify is the definition of indications for the laying phase of the prefabricated blocks. This study significantly contributes to reduce uncertainties and skepticism about this technology. With these objectives, some experimental tests have been carried out to verify the reliability of the data declared in the datasheets of hemplime blocks produced in Italy, justifying any incongruity. This study also investigates other aspects of hemplime block, such as the main pathologies that may affect this technology during its lifetime and the maintenance operations necessary to restore the product. Furthermore, the thermal performance of a wall was studied in a climatic chamber to study its behavior in conditions similar to service life. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
