AGROLATH

Development of Alkali-Based Agro-Materials for Thermal Comfort in the Home Research in the construction industry has initiated an ecological transition, especially with the development of biobased materials, such as bio-based concretes. These materials, for which hempcrete is a precursor, have interesting qualities such as low density and good hygrothermal characteristics. Hemp blocks have been developed,… Read More »AGROLATH

BBIO-LCM

Recycling plant by-products: flax, rapeseed and miscanthus in construction materials In response to the climate emergency, the construction sector is called upon to revise its practices to minimize its environmental impact. This context has encouraged the exploration of innovative and eco-friendly building materials, such as bio-based materials. These materials, often derived from plant by-products like… Read More »BBIO-LCM

MABIOMCP

Development and characterization of a new bio-sourced composite material based on plant-based phase change material and vegetal concrete (hemp/flax shives) This project aims to design and study new environmentally friendly construction materials, made from plant-based concretes (hemp shives/flax shives) and bio-sourced phase change materials (PCM), to address environmental challenges in the building sector. PCMs stand… Read More »MABIOMCP
