Original Abstract

Natural insulation materials have great potential of development given the contemporary requirements of the society in terms of reducing the energy demands of the production of building materials and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Natural fibers are characteristic by their high moisture absorption and combustibility. The paper describes the results of research in the field of heat and moisture transfer within the structure of insulating materials based on natural fibers (hemp). The results of the experiments provided input data for computational simulations of hygrothermal behavior of hemp based fiber insulation applied in building envelopes.

Keywords

Natural insulation materials, hemp, natural fibres, hygrothermal behavior, thermal conductivity, moisture.
