   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

   This material is fireproof, insect proof, and waterproof. It offers significant thermal and acoustic insulation and can be cut, carved, drilled and shaped with wood-working tools. This construction material can be used to make foundations, subfloors, building blocks, walls, domes, or even arches that can be reinforced with a construction fabric ...

3. Hempcrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hempcrete

   Hempcrete is a construction building material that uses hemp shives, aggregate, water, and a type of binder to act as non-bearing walls, insulators, finishing plasters, and blocks. The material has low mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity, making it ideal for insulation material.

   Developed in the mid-1920s, AAC provides insulation, fire, and mold-resistance. Forms include blocks, wall panels, floor and roof panels, cladding (façade) panels and lintels. [4] [5] It is also an insulator. [2] [6] AAC products see use in construction, such as industrial buildings, residential houses, apartment buildings, and townhouses.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   A building site for a row of riverside apartment blocks in Cambridge. The buildings are being constructed using a systems build with a steel frame and various prefabricated components. The blue plastic on the central building is the vapour barrier for the thermal wall insulation before the exterior cladding has been fixed.
