Development of technology for the construction of clean and energy efficient houses with composite filling timber frame. Volume I

Abstract

Monograph consists of three chapters. In the first chapter the characteristics of hemp fiber for the possibility of cropping in Eastern Poland were described. In the second chapter the wide range of composites research carried out with shives filler and binder of different modifications were shown. The study included the determination of the composition of composite mixtures and evaluation of physico-mechanical properties of hardened material. Laboratory studies were designed to identify the optimum composition of composite to the practical application in clean and energy efficient buildings. In the third chapter technological guidance in the implementation of energy efficient and clean buildings were provided. The various stages of the building erection from the foundations to the roof were described. Studies described in the monograph as well as the technology of buildings erection can be helpful in a practical application for the purposes of design, as well as in the performing of clean and energy efficient buildings.
