COMPETITORS
THE PROBLEM
THE SOLUTION
a Carbon Negative, Naturally Abundant,
Breathable Material which sequesters up to
120 kg/m3 of CO2 over it’s lifetime
With insulation properties at par with that of
currently available toxic insulation materials
(k value = 0.06 - 0.07 W/m-k making it 27
times less conductive than a normal brick
wall)
At a comparatively very low cost benefiting
the competitive advantage of the developer
(consumer)
It can be easily integrated into the current
ecosystem given minimal training and
resources required, as a subcontracting firm /
supplier
Irradiate the fires required for clearing hemp.
The current building practice is highly
UNSUSTAINABLE
Rapid urbanization has resulted in unviable
growth in the real estate market
Domestic sector accounts for 45.9% of total
annual energy consumption, half of which is
used HVAC*
Who cares?
End user with swelled energy bills
Victims of rolling power cuts
Any one who isn’t stealing electricity

HEMPCRETE HOUSES
Pakistan Lacks 9 million housing units
(State Bank’s Housing Finance Review)
It is estimated that 0.34 million units will be
required every year to accommodate the ever
increasing demand (World Bank, 2005)
Efficient housing is not a LUXURY but a
NECESSITY
Target Vertical: Real Estate Developers,
Builders, Interior Designers, Architects

temperature reduction by different insulation
products available in the market based on a
report by UN-HABITAT (November 2010)
Technique 1:For use in RC Frame structures
This technique is ideal for the use in
commercial plazas where the HempCrete walls
replace the normal brick walls and the load is
taken solely by the RC Frame structure (Fig.
7.A). In this technique the HempCrete can be
cast insitu or a masonry approach including
hemp bricks/blocks can be used (Fig. 7.B).
Technique 2:For use in Wood Frame
structures
This technique is ideal for the use in low rise
structures like houses .etc. where the load is
taken by the wood frame structure and the
HempCrete is cast insitu. (Fig. 7.C)
Technique 3:For use in Load bearing walls
This technique is ideal for the use in load
bearing masonry walls, used in houses, made
by the use of wrap-trap bond. The HempCrete
is filled in the cavities inside the wall. (Fig.
