They are making a hempcrete block, which in itself is not that revolutionary. But, they've developed an inner-Lego system made from hemp resin and fiber to provide both the structure (yes, no framing required!) and an easy dry-fit assembly.<br class=""><br class="">In addition, they are carbon-curing the blocks using the CO2 emissions from their natural gas co-generation (heat and power) unit, and also using the water from the emissions for mixing the blocks.<br class=""><br class="">They are appropriate for plaster finish inside and out, or screw strapping for a rain screen into the resin columns.<br class=""><br class="">Elegant, natural, resourceful... and proof of the room we have to innovate to make straw a viable building option.<br class=""><br class="">Chris<br class=""><br class="">-- <br class="">Chris Magwood<br class="">Director, Endeavour Centre<br class=""><a href="http://www.endeavourcentre.org" class="">www.endeavourcentre.org</a><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Gsbn mailing list<br class="">Gsbn@sustainablesources.com<br class="">http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/gsbn<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
