Episode notes
This series analyzes the Polyhemp Integrated Modular Building System, a procurement-ready framework designed to disrupt traditional construction through carbon-negative, agricultural-based materials. We examine the transition from high-emission Portland cement to Class F Fly Ash foundations, which repurpose industrial waste to create more durable, lower-permeability substrates.
Technical Focal Points:
- Structural Mechanics: The implementation of Hemp Fiber Laminate (HFLX) beams, which utilize bio-resins to outperform traditional timber in modulus of elasticity and rupture.
- Advanced Composites: The engineering of HVAR (Hemp Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) panels, achieving R-40 insulation values and ...
