This paper provides an overview of the latest research and applications of bio-based materials used in building construction. The materials discussed include hemp, wood, date palm wood, cork, alfa, and straw. Through a literature study, the aim is to understand the current state of theoretical and experimental studies on the hygrothermal characteristics, thermal, and energy performances of these materials. This is the first part of a research work contributing to the development of a new bio-based construction material for building applications.
Bio-based materials represent a promising alternative in building envelope applications, with the aim of improving in-use energy efficiency. They have the advantage of being renewable, low embodied energy and CO2 neutral or negative. In addition, they are excellent thermal regulators. This paper presents an overview of the state-of-the-art of bio-based materials used in building construction and their applications. The materials outlined include hemp, wood, date palm wood, cork, alfa and straw. Through this literature study we want to get a broad overview of the current state of theoretical and experimental studies of their hygrothermal characteristics and their thermal and energy performances. The aim is not to be exhaustive but to summarise the most important research results on these materials. This is the first part of a research work that deals with the contribution to the development of a new bio-based construction material to be used in building.
