Clarke Snell of the Nauhaus Institute interviews Ian Pritchett, Managing Director of Lime Technology, about the Nauhaus Prototype Project, the first home in the US to use Hemcrete. It was filmed on-site in West Asheville, NC.

Hemcrete is an organic concrete made of hemp and lime stone.
This is the first hempcrete passive house in the US. One might ask why hempcrete? The answer is that this walling material has a very good thermal mass so changes very slowly the temperature, stores the heat very well and the hemp stores lots of CO² so your building will be a zero or minus carbon house.

The wall can be finished by either lime or clay plaster from inside or lime or stucco from outside to let the moisture move in the wall.
