Hygric and thermal properties of hemp-lime plasters

Plasters have many applications such as increasing the thermal resistance of walls, moderating humidity, and maintaining indoor air quality. In this study, the hygrothermal properties of two types of plaster were tested. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the plaster samples were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) method at 23 °C. Results showed that the plaster with lower density and higher porosity had the lowest thermal conductivity....

Hygric and thermal properties of hemp-lime plasters

The authors investigate the use of two hemp-lime plasters (Chanvribat hemp-lime plaster (CHLP) and Terrachanvre hemp-lime plaster (THLP)) for their hygric and thermal properties to assess their use as building plasters. It was shown that the two-hemp lime plasters assessed were good thermal insulators and hygric regulators and so they would be a good choice for plaster to improve the hygric and thermal performances of walls so long as they ...
