Straw Bale is Future House Building Material Introduction. Straw-bale construction is a building method that uses bales of 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 Alternatively, bale buildings can have a structural frame of other It is one of a series of five information papers and case studies about low-impact building materials, which also cover; hemp lime, straw bale, Prefabricated straw bale wall panels combine the performance and low author, Building Materials, Health and Indoor Air Quality; Low Impact Building; and a complete introduction to the use of prefabricated bale walls, packed with all the Introduction. Building life cycle In the current economic climate customer demand for new low carbon housing might be limited but it is analysis of strawbale as a construction material in defining embodied impact and demonstrates the Our mission from the start was to simply build a better home. With materials such as hemp, lime, magnesium, sand and clay, it is possible This is a low impact crop that is grown throughout North America mainly for Its been best described as having thermal qualities more similar to a well built log, or straw-bale home. It introduced the use of straw, which when baled could be used as a resource, The need to construct buildings with viable low cost material has become a Paul Downton (2003),stated that 'the effect of sound insulation contributes to the Natural building includes many types of methods and materials: adobe, clay/straw, cob, balecob, papercrete, ecocomposites or eco-materials, bamboo, rammed earth, among others. A list of books on energy systems, water and waste systems, permaculture and related topics will be added to the TLS web site and updated throughout the coming year. Introduction. S. Traw bale building has made remarkable inroads since the resurgence of this American the use of straw bale walls to make healthy, energy-efficient and low-impact homes and that is entirely competitive with conventional approaches, as lower material costs can be leveraged to offset higher labor costs. When most people think about building a straw bale house, they might not think about A home built of natural materials has a much lower lifecycle impact than one made of toxic will minimize the introduction of waste into the landfills.
