Content: Straw bale construction and building physics – thermal insulation and heat storage, cold bridges, wind and air tightness, humidity, sound insulation, fire protection, healthy indoor climate and energy efficiency (building standard, energy certificate) are the topics of this unit. We show how all these physical challenges can be solved in straw bale construction.
