REAL BUILDS.
REAL RESULTS.
The engineered wall system has been proven across residential, commercial, and institutional construction. Every project below is a working building — independently evaluated and built to last.
Reference Project
TRENT UNIVERSITY FORENSIC CRIME SCENE FACILITY
Ontario, Canada — A completed commercial institutional build demonstrating the engineered wall block system’s suitability for demanding, high-specification construction at scale. Built to meet rigorous institutional standards with hempcrete blocks throughout the exterior wall system.
4,100
Trent’s Forensic Crime Scene Facility combines Trent’s renowned forensics leadership with its reputation as one of Canada’s top environmental teaching and research universities. The Forensic Facility aims to be Canada’s first zero-carbon building certified by the International Living Future Institute. It is green from the ground up, made of environmentally friendly construction materials and energy sources.
1,089
Blocks Used
The Trent University Forensic Crime Scene Facility was constructed using 1,089 Renewabuild blocks throughout its exterior wall system — demonstrating the block system's capability at institutional scale, in a high-specification environment where performance standards are non-negotiable.

Designed service life, strong for a university facility
Reference Project
THE HARMLESS HOME
British Columbia, Canada — Built with Renewabuild blocks throughout the exterior walls, the Harmless Home set out to achieve carbon net-zero with energy efficiency and indoor air quality as top priorities. Completed in late 2018.
A University of Victoria Master’s thesis published in 2022 evaluated the home post-occupancy. The conclusion: “The exterior wall had a higher R-value than predicted in the building energy modelling — the Harmless Home and Renewabuild performed well across all performance categories including hygrothermal performance and life cycle assessment.”

The Harmless Home was constructed using 3,000 Renewabuild blocks throughout its exterior wall system — one of the first residential applications of the patented block system in North America, and a proof of concept for carbon net-zero hempcrete construction at scale.
R40+
Blocks Used
Post-occupancy testing found the exterior wall delivered a higher R-value than predicted in the original building energy modelling — a result documented in a University of Victoria Master's thesis and one of the most significant findings of the independent evaluation.
Net-Zero
Carbon Target — Achieved
The Harmless Home was designed to achieve carbon net-zero — and did. The University of Victoria evaluation concluded that the home and the Renewabuild wall system performed well across all categories including hygrothermal performance and life cycle assessment.
Reference Project
Saint-Antoine, NB House Build
New Brunswick, Canada — A completed residential build using the Renewabuild wall system, demonstrating the system’s application in single-family home construction. The 16′ x 30′ home features 9′ exterior walls built with hempcrete blocks throughout.
480
The Saint-Antoine home was built on a 16' x 30' footprint with 9' walls, using the Renewabuild block system throughout the exterior wall assembly.
3.5
Days to Build
The full wall assembly was erected in just 3.5 days by a team of 6 — including training for 4 team members who had never worked on a construction site before, demonstrating how accessible the block system is to non-specialist labor.
6
Person Crew
A lean 6-person crew completed the build, two-thirds of whom were being trained on-site for the first time — a testament to the system's ease of assembly.
