BUILDING PRODUCTS, CONSTRUCTION & DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE

Research and implementation of hemp in the building industry. We consider all aspects of this effort, from fundamental research on hemp and its components to building codes, carbon capture, and education both in the classroom and outside the university. Potential research topics include:

• Hempcrete construction
• New products from hemp fiber, hurd, and stalk
• Building products from hemp
• 3D printing of building products incorporating hemp

Current and Past Research

• Hempcrete properties
• Test methods development
• Hemp pulping
• Novel products from hemp
• New processing technologies for hemp
