[BLDG-SIM] help for simulation of strawbale house

[Mike Tillou]

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 :

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...
