Primitive Bio-based Material Properties (Materials)
About:
- Plant, Wood, Animal, Bacteria, Microbes, etc.
- Violet Sceptics (big market shares) are scared of Green (still a tiny market shares)
- Attempt to put bio-based materials down
- Chemistry is understood and consistent whilst plants live, grow and decay
- But chemistry is used to make things cheaper
- Fiduciary rules (make a profit for share holders)
- Because we do not invest for long term
- Chemistry develops magic bullets that solve one issue
- Ignores or creates numerous other side effects at the same time
- Just like medicine and pharmaceuticals
- But so is biology, DNA is consistent, and understood by those that care to know
- until GMO chemistry interferes and destroys integrity of its gene pool
- Removal of living or edible fraction (green essence) and risk
- Avoiding deleterious conditions
- Understand the limitations and avoid problems
- Detail to shed water
- Avoid wet, damp, high humidity
- Space to prevent capillary attraction
- Ventilate to keep dry
- Choose durable species
- Preservation techniques overcomes decay
- And then you get the advantage of special characteristics
- not necessarily found in chemistry based materials
- Avoiding deleterious conditions
- Attempt to put bio-based materials down
- High performance or unique performance
- Hygroscopicity
- Absorb moisture within air spaces into fibres
- Lets insulation insulate even when moist
- Effective insulation
- Absorb moisture within air spaces into fibres
- Moisture Mass
- Moisture management
- Improved comfort conditions
- Avoiding Air conditioning
- Avoidance of surface condensation
- Reduced risk of spores developing into mould
- Improved health, avoid asthma
- Avoidance of interstitial condensation
- Avoid risks of rot of embedded timber
- Avoid risk of structural failure
- Avoid Toxic mould
- Avoid risk of loss of building, possessions
- Avoid deaths
- Moisture permeability
- Improved moisture permeability
- Avoids risk of high humidity
- Improved wellbeing
- Moisture transport
- Enables moisture permeable solid walls to lose moisture
- inwards and outwards when conditions dictate
- Reduced trapped moisture behind plasters/renders
- Reduced risk of condensation and mould
- Enables moisture permeable solid walls to lose moisture
- Flexibility
- No cutting inaccuracy
- Squeeze and expand to tight fit
- Airtight installation
- Loft for maintained trapped air
- Effective insulation
- Improve airtightness
- Improved thermal comfort
- Reduced loss of heat
- Reduced gain of coolth
- Decrement Factor
- Decrement Delay
- Thermal lag
- Thermal mass
- Thermal Conductivity resistance
- Density
- Specific Heat Capacity
- Reduced solar gain
- Reduced risk of Overheating
- Improved thermal comfort
- Improved indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
- Reduced risk of illness and death
- Reduced risk of Overheating
- No cutting inaccuracy
- Improved moisture permeability
- Hygroscopicity
