I have a few questions so we can best help you –What is your climate zone?And will the floor be carrying the weight of the building? Do you have plans drawn and a building permit yet?
你的问题很有趣，我们会尽我们所能帮助你。I don’t think Hemp is a wise solution in this case, normally under a foundation floor you would find foam insulation, though in 2015 we did build a demonstration house on aslab on grade using mineral insulationbelow the floor, would that work for you?Hemp insulation is an organic materialand it would need to be kept dry.Mineral wool and EPS rigid foam insulationare both suitable for below slabs, so I think you’re best with one of those.
