Straw-bale construction: History, Method & Thermal properties

Straw-bale construction is a building method that uses bales of straw (usually wheat straw) as structural elements, building insulation, or both. This construction method is commonly used in natural building or "brown" construction projects. Research has shown that straw-bale construction is a sustainable method for building, from the standpoint of both…
