Building With Straw Bales: A Practical Guide for the Uk and Ireland by Barbara Jones
Straw bale building is a radically different approach to the process of building. Like all innovative ideas, it has been pioneered by the passionate, and used experimentally by those with the vision to see its potential. Its background is grassroots self-build; it is firmly based in that sustainable 'green building' culture that has brought to the construction industry many new and useful ideas about energy efficiency and responsibility towards the environment.
As a building material, straw excels in the areas of cost effectiveness and energy efficiency. And because the building method is so straightforward, people without previous building experience can participate in the design and construction, making significant savings on labor costs.
