Re the R Value from kdog54902.......... you obviously don't live in one or know anything about living in one. I live in one and my heating costs were less than $470 last year (09/10 winter). what did you spend on heating?? Oh, by the way, I live\ in the snow belt of Ontario - Jan to March temps are min, -10 C to -25 C!
-
@Kdog54902 Are you kidding me! There is nothing natural that's better than straw bale building.
-
The theoretical R-value (thermal resistivity) for a 16.5 inch (420 mm) straw bale was calculated by Joseph McCabe as 52 (RSI-9.2). This is compared with a theoretical R-value for 3.5 inch (90 mm) of fibreglass (the conventional insulation material used in home construction) of 13 (RSI-2.3). This means fibreglass has an R-value of about 3.7 per inch (RSI-0.26 per centimeter) and straw bales have about 3.2 per inch (RSI-0.22 per centimeter).
-
From what I can find out,the R-value is real poor. About half that of fiberglass insulation.

must know info!

Whoops! I meant strawbale (dot) com. Replace the (dot) with a period.

See strawbale (dot) come for all the info you need, and to buy the DVD's.

One detail here: the R-Value as labeled in experiments has never been nailed down. What I do know is a SB house is 3 times as efficient as a fiberglass insulated one. No Question there, just ask someone who has lived in both. It's not even a competition.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this and other comments on my videos. Honestly, it's a bit hard for me to keep track of all the comments. Please feel free to contact me directly through my blog at the web address above (It won't let me write the address in teh comments). I'll get back to you much faster if you use that route!
