A Hemp Home is a Parsons Healthy Materials Lab pilot project in New Castle, Pennsylvania, executed to research, test, and apply HempLime insulation in the renovation of a small, affordable home. The project was used as supporting documentation for the proposed Hemp-lime Construction appendix for the International Building Code, which will be implemented in 2024.

The blog post summarizes the project, from design to construction, and shares the lessons learned in the process including results of indoor air quality, thermal and energy testing.
