Thanks for the comment Annie! It's happening. If you can contribute to hembuilding.au we'll be able to do more... hempbuilding.au/help-hbd-help-the-planet/

Hi mate, this house was a retrofit and there is a longer video with much more info. It's the Queenslander one. Yes, strip foundations will work but a slab has more thermal mass to regulate the internal temperatures. I'd like to build a structure on piers. Once the walls were complete use the fix form panels onto underside of floor bearers and fill the cavity with hempcrete insulation. This would provide both insulation and thermal mass without the need for truck loads of concrete. What do you think?

I run the Hemp Building Directory at www.hempbuilding.au where there is a bunch more info...

No worries. Glad you liked it and I appreciate the specific comment!

Thanks for the comment Tony. All this Education and Advocacy work I do takes a lot of time. I am a single dad with all the expenses that comes with that living in Redfern, Sydney. I am a very hard worker but none of this content or my work with hempbuilding.au contributes to income. If you'd like to sponsor a video do reach out for a chat! Just a few $100 would help towards making another video even tough they are worth more like a few $1000... or just head to the Hemp Building Directory to drop a little contribution. Thanks again! hempbuilding.au/help-hbd-help-the-planet/

iHemp - I like that term.

No A/c needed. I will make sure to be explicit about fans, A/C, heating etc in my next video. It was the middle of winter, mild in Australia, so we did put on a tiny electric heater for about 1/2hr after evening showers...

Hi Susan, that would have been a good thing to measure! I'll pop that on my to do list for the next time I stay in a hempcrete house ie pack a thermometer and take some readings and different times of the day... I con only say for now that it was warm in the house when we arrived late at night. The slab was exuding heat into our feet. On the second day it was cloudy the whole day, but warmth still penetrated an we kept the windows close to trap it in.

Thanks Kirstie for this extra info! Good to know :)

Thanks for the comment buddy! I'll do my best to keep em coming but I gotta hustle to pay rent and look after my daughter solo so I can only do what I can... Hoping one day someone might actually pay or sponsor me to promote carbon sequestering! If you feel like contributing hit this link :) hempbuilding.au/help-hbd-help-the-planet/ Thanks so much either way...

That's an idea!

Thanks Amelia!

Thanks! Create the form you want with molding first. 1/4 cut PVC pipes can work well. If going off form hempceret that one must be diligent with the packing and tamping but if it's rendered then you can refine the cures with render layers...

Wonderful to know. Thanks for commenting...

And thank you for the positive comment! Next video out soon...

Hi Levi, Marijuana was a word created to demonise all forms of cannabis. Hemp is in the cannabis family. It has been used for 1000s of years by humans for all kinds of things. The seeds are super food with high protein, omega 3&6. The fibre has 1000s of uses from clothes (the first jeans were made from hemp) to paper (the declaration of independence was first made from hemp) to rope and sails (the English Navy ruled the world thanks to hemp) and building materials from the Romans to modern day highly efficient hempcrete passive houses.

- That is quite a few question....thanks! I'd be happy to arrange a zoom or similar meeting so we can have a chat and I can address some of these. Head to environmentarian.au/ to book in :) - Regarding shelving I have this video which may be helpful ruclips.net/video/wiKZo7Z7uoE/видео.html - And also check out www.hempbiulding.au that has plenty of free info..

Hi Julien, thanks for the comment and glad you like the videos. I've seen issues with sand mixed in walls and other walls that perform better due to the extra thermal mass. But I think 'no sand. is now best practice...

@@JeremyThomas_Environmentarian Thanks a mill for your thorough answer! All the best.

No worries. Glad you enjoyed it..

Using moldy wood would likely just cause the mold to spread through again, since mold only really needs a lack of sunlight and trapped moisture to grow on natural product surfaces like wood. If you're dealing with mold on the inside of your home and you can't move, I'd recommend getting dehumidifiers for the worst rooms since mold grows better in dark and humid conditions. If you can afford it, get an inspector or plumber to comb through your place for any leaking pipes since a leaking pipe will leech water in to very hard to reach areas, giving mold a safe starting point to grow out from. That's all I know though, try contacting a local building company and see what they have for advice.

Hi SC, yes..for now. It premiers on Saturday 4pm EST (Sydney)..

@@dartology no worries. Thanks for the positive comment!

Thanks for the input :)

Thanks Mr J Doe, for your interesting thought provoking comment. It prompted me to dig a little deeper to compliment my knowledge gained through an ESG course I completed at RMIT. Have you done something similar? The content focused on SSI (Sustainability and Social Impact) which was the name for the course a few years ago, and ESG (Environmental Social Governance). The idea behind ESG is so that companies can develop their own ESG approaches relevant to their industries. This way they have targets to hit based on various metrics from appropriate 3rd party assessors. I feel it's better to have approaches and metrics in place than none at all. The building industry in Australia uses NATHER/BASIX, Greenstar and others. Another acronym is PPP (People, Planet Profit) but I feel ESG works better. Perhaps to make change on a grass toots level one needs to dance with demons...?

Ideas man! Have you got some for sale that you can list on the Hemp Building Directory?

@@JeremyThomas_Environmentarian I don’t personally but a good conversation to have. Might do some research on them. So good seeing a building product tick all the boxes
