"Prototype of Hempcrete noise barrier wall"The main aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to examine and to propose a prototype design of a highway noise barrier wall, which is a made from Hempcrete, a hemp-lime composite material. The thesis was done with cooperation of HAMK University of Applied Sciences and company Hemprefine OY. The prototype design of the Hempcrete noise barrier was made according to the concept of environmentally friendly green constructions. It is an Eco-friendly, sustainable structure with the ability to sequester carbon dioxide and unique sound absorption properties, that can be successfully use in different countries. It consists of a timber load-bearing frame, four Hempcrete blocks, connected to each other; and foundation.As the part of this work, I described advantages and disadvantages of such noise barrier wall; made a comparison of Hempcrete and traditional concrete; made an assessment and evaluated the possibility of constructing Hempcrete noise barrier in the targeted area.

I was working on a research-project “Climate Resilient low-cost buildings in Marsabit county, Kenya” funded by Nordic Climate Facility by Nordic Development fund. My tasks were organizing and writing a report “Solar cookers and Energy Efficient and Renewable Energy Solutions”, and design, modeling and construction of prototypes of solar oven and parabolic solar cooker.The main aims of the project were to develop energy and cost-efficient cooking methods, prepare instructions on the construction and assembling of the solar cooker devices with the use of locally available (in the targeted area) materials. Furthermore, during the project, two different prototypes were constructed and then described in the final report..
