Experimental Analysis of Moisture-Dependent Thermal Conductivity, and Hygric Properties of Novel Hemp–shive Insulations with Numerical Assessment of Their In-Built Hygrothermal and Energy Performance

The use of lime as a binder in hemp–lime considerably increases the drying time of hemp–lime after casting. Furthermore, lime is a non-renewable mineral resource. As such, this paper explores the effectiveness of using an alternative non-mineral binder instead of lime to formulate a novel hemp–shive...
