There are many benefits in using natural building materials. They generally have a lower quantity of embodied energy than conventional building materials, which means that less energy (from fossil fuels) was required for their production. They are also better as far as health of occupiers.
You can have a look at my recent papers (you can download them from Research Gate):
- F. Asdrubali, S. Schiavoni, K. V. Horoshenkov: “A review of sustainable materials for acoustic applications”, Building Acoustics 19, (4), 2012, 283-312.
- F. Asdrubali, C. Baldassarri, V.Fthenakis: “Life Cycle Analysis in the construction sector: guiding the optimization of conventional Italian buildings”, Energy and Buildings, 64 (2013), 73-89.
One deals with sustainable building materails, the other with Life Cycle Assessment approach applied to buildings.
