So many Architects just don't get it. Typical green washing example: steel studs from only 30% recycled steel and house walls full of toxic foam. Here's just a few points in response to the Article in BUILDER: PREFABPANELS BLEND ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH HIGH DESIGN- Minarc founders talk with BUILDER about how the sustainable panels conserve energy and reduce construction waste.
What these architects aren't getting is that Industrial Hemp
1) could be planted on all those hillsides that will soon be eroding from the coming spring rains, this lessens the eroding soil from clogging up the streams below and also will help remove toxins from the soil with phytoremediation.
2) the Hemp plants could be used to build a True Green Building from Hempcrete that is more energy efficient than spray foam, while being environmentally conscience.
3) in the case of another fire these same Hempcrete homes would withstand fire better than any toxic spray foam constructed building.
4) Hempcrete building also block EMF signals- does spray foam do that?
If these So-called Green Building Architects payed attention to what true green buildings are they could learn something from the Dutch.
1st Prefab Hemp Home - Dutch Company!!!!
Hemp Environmental Forum has posted a weblink to the true green building article.
1,100 hectares of agricultural land used for hemp in the Netherlands, Dun Agro claims to be able to build 500 houses per year and easily scale up in case demand increases.
