This research investigates an external wall system made with hemp-based composites for a possible application in the civil engineering. In particular, the wall system is realized with panels of two different densities. First of all, physical and mechanical properties of the panels are studied, together with fire reaction and resistance behavior. Then, the external wall system is investigated by means of impact energy of the external surface, thermal and acoustic properties. The composite materials exhibit an outstanding and not common combination of properties. This research shows first preliminary results aimed at implementing sustainable processes in the constructions industry.
