design and location of the building as well as a significant number of other factors that affect construction costs. Designed buildings taking on the full performance effects of Tradical® Hemcrete® offers savings in areas of the build cost such as heating and ventilation systems and can
help to produce very
cost competitive buildings. The thermal performance of Tradical® Hemcrete®also delivers key savings in the running costs of a building, which increase in importance as energy prices increase.

to reduce making Tradical® Hemcrete® more
attractive than it already is.
