Hemp insulation, natural insulation
Plan "Green to savings"
Do you know that hemp insulation does not leave any ecological marks?
When evaluating building materials, it is necessary to take into account their energy balance keeping in mind climate changes. The impact of the production of building materials on the environment can be best compared to the release amount of greenhouse gases. The so-called GWP (Global warming potential) is the value of the real equivalent release of CO2, i.e. the amount of CO2 released during the production of a material.

The negative balance GWP is gained by the CO2 consumption at hemp growth. This absorption exceeds the release from the energy consumption necessary for the production of panels.
Insulation from hemp rope is really an ecological material not burdening the environment.
