It is called ECOSISM®-CALCECANAPA® technology and it is a new GREEN construction technology capable of adapting to any structural constraint and responding to the highest standards of thermal acoustic comfort.The construction system in Calcecanapa® with Ecosism technologyThe ECOSISM®-CALCECANAPA® technology allows you to choose the most suitable structural type according to your needs, made by using all the materials required by current construction legislation: wood, steel and concrete.Then it will be the Ecosism® formwork, filled with Calcecanapa®, which will allow to reach and overcome the best parameters of acoustic and thermal insulation, thermal wave phase shift and vapor permeability required by modern standards of energy saving and living comfort. What is Calcecanapa® The mixture of Calcecanapa® is a biocomposite material obtained from the combination of the woody part of the stem, that is the hemp, and a binder based on hydraulic or aerial lime with the addition of water.Once mixed with water and lime, the hemp, being very rich in silica, undergoes a process of "carbonization" in which the wood is mineralized, or transformed into stone.After application, Calcecanapa® cement hardens by evaporation of water, carbonation and hydration of the lime.The type of binder (air lime, hydraulic lime, etc.), the type of hemp (length of the hemp, etc.) and their proportions (quantity of lime and hemp used), determine materials with distinct characteristics and properties, suitable for different uses in construction.Hemp acts as a light filler material, also called aggregate, while lime acts as a binder and preservative.The hemp is usually a by-product of the processing of hemp fiber and being naturally rich in silica, it helps the hardening of the lime.Once hardened, the biocomposite transforms into a rigid and light material with excellent insulation and durability characteristics.The mix consolidates in a few hours, while with the passage of time and due to the petrification process, it acquires a consistency similar to stone.The lime-canapulo biocomposite can be used in the construction of massive masonry in the same way as a cement conglomerate, both independently and as a filling of a wooden structure with beams and pillars.It can also be used in brick form and as an insulating plaster.ECOSISM®-Calcecanapa® prefabricated modulesThe Calcecanapa® mixture is a biocomposite material obtained from the combination of the woody part of the stem, that is the hemp, and a hydraulic or aerial lime-based binder with the addition of water.Once mixed with water and lime, the hemp, being very rich in silica, undergoes a process of "carbonization" in which the wood is mineralized, or transformed into stone.After application, Calcecanapa® cement hardens by evaporation of water, carbonation and hydration of the lime.The type of binder (air lime, hydraulic lime, etc.), the type of hemp (length of the hemp, etc.) and their proportions (quantity of lime and hemp used), determine materials with distinct characteristics and properties, suitable for different uses in construction.Hemp acts as a light filler material, also called aggregate, while lime acts as a binder and preservative.The hemp is usually a by-product of the processing of hemp fiber and being naturally rich in silica, it helps the hardening of the lime.Once hardened, the biocomposite transforms into a rigid and light material with excellent insulation and durability characteristics.The mix consolidates in a few hours, while with the passage of time and due to the petrification process, it acquires a consistency similar to stone.The lime-canapulo biocomposite can be used in the construction of massive masonry in the same way as a cement conglomerate, both independently and as a filling of a wooden structure with beams and pillars.It can also be used in brick form and as an insulating plaster.The Ecosism® formwork matrix must be seen as an added value and not as a limit in the construction of a wall, since it allows you to adapt to the needs of the chosen structure.This is a direct consequence of four fundamental elements: Ecosism® formworks are prefabricated elements made on the basis of an executive design that dresses the architectural and structural project in a tailored way.The assembly and handling operations of the formwork are facilitated given the low weight of the modules.The manual stapling allows you to be able to adapt them on site through simple cutting and sewing operations.The panels are easily adaptable in case of internal bracing structures on the walls thanks to the study, during the production, of the appropriate modularity.The versatility of the Ecosism® technology, combined with the homogeneity of the Calcecanapa® mixture made in the factory and installed by pneumatic transport, allow the creation of a single structural body as a real organism, where structure and coating merge with the exploitation of the best performance of the materials used in the construction world today.The structure of the building can be made of steel (at the end of the article you can download the reference), in reinforced concrete (download the construction detail) using ECOSISM® formworks both for the concrete casting and for the blowing of the CALCECANAPA ® and finally it can be made with a wooden structure.Depending on the structural choice, the proposed construction system adapts and designs itself.Our solution is flexible and does not place restrictions on design choices from a structural point of view.
