The study elaborates on hempcrete's ability to be used in small- scale construction and environmentally friendly architectural projects. It investigates on hempcrete's embodied carbon through life-cycle assessment, thermal insulation, durability, mechanical properties, and cost-effectiveness. The research compares three different building techniques: prefabricated panels, in-situ casting, and 3D printing. According to the results, hempcrete has a substantially lower embodied carbon than conventional materials and has the potential to capture net carbon because of the carbonation of lime and hemp biomass. It improves indoor thermal quality and energy efficiency by providing good moisture control and thermal insulation. Its load-bearing application is limited by structural restrictions but works well for insulation and non-load-bearing walls.
