We started a Youtube channel back in 2022 and our first project is a self build Hempcrete house, in the UK. This house is proof that we can build better homes! www.youtube.com/@thelowcarbonproject

I am sort of surprised that earth coated hemp shiv interior insulation did not became a thing. Been showing this easy tech for years in workshops. Just needs a formwork like reed mats or boards, some moisture and little taps.

Precious plastic started 10 years ago. They are in need of support and Blue-sky is a good place to ask for help. We are in no way affiliated with them but have been following them for past few years. We need more people like these. Please repost www.preciousplastic.com youtu.be/4gTd36cQLzY?...

For all you heat pump enthusiasts. Matt has been getting a COP of 5.75 for the last few months, we'll see how much that changes over the next couple. For 1KW of electricity put in, he's been getting 5.7KW of heat out. He installed it himself, here's how... youtu.be/ZF-1mnaK3uc

400 year old house gets hempcrete insulation, sprayed directly onto the walls. We will be visiting this renovation again next year to see how it's performing in terms of energy efficiency

This video shows an alternative way to build with hempcrete / hemplime, using a modified lime spray machine from France. Hemp + lime + water = carbon negative, super efficient homes for all. #buildbetter #construction #greenbuilding youtube.com/shorts/QIX9i...

Reposting now that we have a few more followers. Did you know the construction industry is responsible for around 60% of global CO2 emissions and cement alone is 8% of that! There is a better way to build!!! #construction #buildbetter #greenbubildings #carnbonnegative

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day. Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

I recently worked on a really nice, hempcrete barn conversion in Suffolk, UK. We used a combination of hand cast and sprayed hempcrete. Jack from Adyta builds explains all here. youtu.be/vYwPXVAg7g0?... #construction #greenbuild #barnconversion #ecofriendly #lowcarbon #climatechange

One thing I look for in a social network is not to have the CEO shove his reactionary political views in my face every time I open the app. So I’m happy here.

Hemp is the best insulation for renovations. Breathable, great thermal mass, regulates humidity, carbon negative and zero off gassing, making for a comfortable and efficient home. Here's a clip from an interview with the leading hempcrete expert. Graham Durrant youtube.com/shorts/c_uMw...

We wanted to see how fireproof hempcrete actually was. As you can see here we were very scientific in our approach 😅 youtube.com/shorts/ezxMA...

This is a 16 - 17th century ruin, that was recently insulated with hempcrete. 120mm applied with a spray machine. It will be a very comfortable place to live. #greenbuilding #eco #retrofit
