Hemp house construction technology involves using natural hemp fiber as the main raw material for building components such as walls, roofs, ceilings and floors. The building block is obtained from cannabis and, very importantly, is naturally resistant to mold, fungi and insects. This makes hemp a durable and health-safe building material.

Advantages of hemp houses

Various techniques are used to produce building components, including blends of hemp fibers with cement, concrete or other materials, as well as hemp fiber mats. An interesting example of using fibers is adding them to plaster to improve its thermal and acoustic insulation properties. This is a significant advantage from both the ecological side and potential savings for residents Hemp fiber structures tend to be much lighter than traditional ones, allowing for easier and faster installation, as well as energy savings during transportation and construction. In addition, since hemp is a low-water- and fertilizer-intensive crop, its use is much more environmentally friendly than the production of traditional building materials.

It is worth noting, however, that hemp house technology is relatively new and there are no long-term studies yet on the durability and safety of these buildings in the long term. Nevertheless, there are already examples of successful implementations, which suggests that this technology really has a lot of potential for future development.

Shah Hemp Inno-Venture

One of the companies involved in the construction of hemp houses is Shah Hemp Inno-Venture from Nepal. It was founded by Dhiraj Kumar Shah, who, after completing tenth grade, left his native country and began traveling the world, completing successive stages of education It would seem that Shar has acclimated to Europe for good. However, Nepal was hit by a natural disaster in the form of an intense earthquake. Shar then decided that he wanted to return to his homeland and, if only on a small scale, help repair the damage. After all, while in Portugal, he learned that a house can be built quickly and cheaply from hemp. Before arriving in Nepal, he conducted further research on the subject and decided that using this technology could help solve the problems of his country's disadvantaged people.

The construction of houses built by Shah Hemp Inno-Venture is based on a natural mixture of hemp fibers with lime and water. The resulting bricks or even whole walls are very durable, lightweight and provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The buildings also have other items containing hemp fibers, such as roofing, plaster, paint and various textiles.

Hemp houses are the green solution of the future

Hemp is a plant that comes from nature and, at the end of its life as a building material, is capable of natural biodegradation Unlike traditional building materials such as concrete or brick, hemp will not be a permanent waste once the building is demolished, but will decompose naturally. It is worth noting, however, that their mixtures with mortars and other additives, such as fiberglass, may not be as quickly biodegradable, but they are still much more environmentally friendly than other building materials.

In conclusion, building houses from hemp can have a much better impact on the world than traditional technologies, but it is worth remembering that much depends on the specific production process and the methods used throughout the process However, the sector of the construction industry involved in such solutions is bound to grow, because in addition to the environmental aspect, such buildings have the potential to provide long-term savings for their occupants.
