Natural building materials
Abstract
Based on the sustainability concept the utilization of natural building materials is gaining increasingly in importance. Natural based materials excel through their low energy consumption and their carbon-footprint, combined with excellent specific strength properties and low costs at the same time. But, these novel natural products still face many challenges to conquer the market; their hygroscopic behaviour and problems resulting therefrom, the large variability in properties of the raw material, its viscoelastic behaviour, unwanted emissions and flammability properties. For achieving a critical quantity of natural building materials typical negative features need to be reduced, whereas existing advantages need to be utilized effectively and efficiently. In conclusion it is claimed that: the identification, the improvement and targeted utilization of beneficial properties of renewables lead to competitive and durable novel natural building materials
