| description | This paper deals with the sorption characteristics of thermal insulation materials based on flax and hemp. The added value of these materials is a positive impact on healthy and sustainable housing. Flax and hemp, which are classified as organic, have a high sorption capacity. Changes in the properties of these materials at a relative air humidity of 20% – 95% allow us to determine their advantages and disadvantages as well as whether the insulation is suitable for incorporation into a building structure. The article describes an experiment during which hygroscopic and thermal-technical properties were monitored. The most important indicators were the change in the coefficient of thermal conductivity and the change in the equilibrium moisture content. |
