MessageHi all,
There might be some research done out of the University of Waterloo (Canada) by John Straube (or one of his students or predecessors). A bit at University of Toronto (Kim Pressnail) and some at the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
email me if you want more info.
regards,
russ richman

Nesen,
The only data on strawbale homes I know of is the work done by Oak Ridge National Lab. Their most recent hotbox test of a 19" strawbale wall found it to have an R-value of 27.5. You can find the test results in the Advanced Wall Systems database at : http://www.ornl.gov/sci/roofs+walls/AWT/Ref/TechHome.htm
Good luck,
Mike

Dear All,
I am working on a project for thermal performance analysis of a strawbale house with ECOTECT in Faculty of Architecture, Middle East Technical University. The study is a part of a research project for building an eco-center working on several types pf construction techniques with local and prefabricated elements. Unfortunately the programe does not have the material properties ofr strawbale in its material library. I would be glad for any help regarding to thermal properties of strawbale including u-value, admittance, solar absorption, thermal degreement, and thermal lag. Any comments or advices for helpful resources would be welcome...
Thanks in advance
Nesen Surmeli...
