US Hemp Building Association Under New Leadership
b'
This week we talk to the new executive team at the U.S. Hemp Building Association, President Henry Gage Jr. and Vice President Ryan Doherty.
Gage had previously been the director of certification for the association. He has a background in engineering, problem solving and green building, and he constructed the first hempcrete retro-fit house in New York.
Doherty had been the director of supply chains, and will continue working in supply chain development as vice president.
The association has aimed a lot of resources at gaining approval for hempcrete as a building material from the International Code Council. ICC accepted a proposal in April and will be making a final recommendation later this month.
Once added to the building codes, hempcrete will give contractors another option for building energy efficient homes while further developing the market for domestically grown hemp.
