Building components with energy performance optimised for Mediterranean climates and based on lime-hemp-shiv mixes

Among the innovative and sustainable solutions for improving energy efficiency in buildings in warm-temperate climates using natural materials derived from agricultural by-products, hemp has particular value at this point in time as new supply chains emerge, also encouraged by national legislation.

In particular, lime-hemp-shiv biocomposite materials have good breathability and humidity-regulation properties and can be used for construction applications in Mediterranean climates.

Changing the Way We Build

Tecno Canapa is a range of high-performance construction materials for eco-efficient building and meets the fundamental requirement of the new sustainable-development strategy: minimising energy consumption during building-material production, the construction phase and throughout the building’s entire life cycle.
