Hygric properties of hemp bio-insulations with differing compositions
Highlights We examined the key hygric properties of five hemp insulations. There were considerable variations in the hygric properties of the insulations. Insulations with more monolayer sorption area showed higher adsorption capacity. The insulation materials exhibited ‘Excellent’ and ‘Good’ moisture buffer value. The data can be used as inputs in hygrothermal simulation software.
Abstract The paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation on the hygric properties of five hemp insulation materials commercially available in the UK. The hemp fibre content varies between 30% and 95% in the total fibre content of the insulation materials examined. The adsorption–desorption isotherm, moisture buffer value, vapour diffusion resistance factor and water absorption coefficient were determined for the insulation materials investigated. The results showed that the hygric properties of the hemp insulation materials could vary widely depending on the constituents and fibrous structure. The considerable differences noted in the hygric properties of the insulation materials examined could potentially influence their hygrothermal performance as part of a building thermal envelope.
