Hemp construction showcase
The building is intended to accommodate research and development activity around hemp. The hemp developed in this way is intended for sectors such as textiles, the food industry and even construction. In a development logic, the building must be an example of hemp construction and a showcase for this research center as for the sector. For this reason, hemp concrete walls were intentionally left raw. The energy performance as well as the comfort of use of the building are key criteria for the company.
Low-tech and biobased energy efficiency
The bioclimatic design of the building is based on proven and low-tech principles: sun screens on the facade, a central patio that allows natural ventilation, a layout of the premises according to the course of the sun and facades adapted in terms of opening. To this is added a reflection on the materials with an insulated wooden structure in hemp concrete and cellulose wadding chosen for their density favorable to summer comfort. In short, an energy efficient building with a low carbon impact based on simple principles and requiring little maintenance.
Technical description
The wooden post-beam structure is clad with a mantle wall in wood frame insulated in wood fiber and hemp concrete. The insulated cellulose wadding roof accommodates the photovoltaic solar panels. The exterior joinery is made of mixed materials interior wood and exterior aluminum. The wall finishes are treated with lime-hemp plaster and bio-based paint with very low VOC content. A double-flow ventilation allows the renewal of the air with preheating in winter and cooling during the night period in summer.
