Can these still be used in a cold environment?

Yerks, once the plaster is on, it provides more of the rigidity and there won't be any movement, as long as the foundation is sound (as in any construction). Pre-compressing the bales is sufficient. Another alternative is post and beam construction using the bales as infill insulation and a bonding point for the wall plaster. It's a tradeoff that uses more wood, but satisfies some hard to please building inspectors.

Good Video overall, But did you say Straw Bale Construction has "been used for Thousands of years"? Bailing machines were invented in the 1800's making "Thousands of years" an overstatement. Cobb and adobe using straw however has been used for thousands of years.

How rigid is it? I would think that as a soft material, straw would squish down, even if it was compressed into bails beforehand. What kind of settling issues would a house like that have over time?

Could you please put out more videos on these subjects? We're studying architecture in Norway and we can't see buildinggreentv other than on youtube...

You take that stuff into account as you are working with the house. And a lower energy output is typically more important to those building these homes than a few extra feet of space. ;)

those walls are like 2 feet thick. i hope that is part of the design and not the required thickness for using straw as Insy. otherwise your losing some major Sq. Ft'g
