Technical Performance Overview of Bio-Based Insulation Materials Compared to Expanded Polystyrene
The energy efficiency of buildings is well documented. However, to improve standards of energy efficiency, the embodied energy of materials included in the envelope is also increasing. Natural fibers like wood and hemp are used to make low environmental impact insulation products. Technical characte...
