Novel bio-based, hygroscopic insulation materials for enhanced energy performance and robustness of buildings
The construction sector in Sweden stands for about 22% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the embodied carbon in new buildings can be achieved by a transition to bio-based insulation materials since conventional insulation accounts for about 20% of the total embodied carbon. Additionally, bio-based materials are hygroscopic, i.e. they absorb moisture from the air […]
