Abstract
Performance of Bio-based Building Materials provides
guidance on the use of bio-based building materials
(BBBM) with respect to their performance. The book
focuses on BBBM currently present on the European market.
The state-of-the-art is presented regarding material
properties, recommended uses, performance expectancies,
testing methodology, and related standards.
Chapters cover both 'old and traditional' BBBM since
quite a few of them are experiencing a comeback on the
market. Promising developments that could become
commercial in the near future are presented as well.
The book will be a valuable reference resource for those
working in the bio-based materials research community,
architects and agencies dealing with sustainable
construction, and graduate students in civil engineering.
