ANALYSIS OF THERMAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM WITH STRAW BALES, ES

Written by esba

EN: The use of straw as a low-cost construction alternative could be introduced in self-construction programmes, aimed at the rural world, in which individuals (owners or not) build their houses under the technical supervision of qualified professionals in the field.
In conclusion, we can say that all of the thermal experimental procedures indicate and corroborate that the straw bale construction system could be incorporated into the category of construction material, being thermally endorsed by the exposed tests, leaving in evidence the thermal disadvantages that other materials have compared to this system.

ES:

La utilización de la paja como alternativa de construcción de bajo costo, podría ser introducida en programas de autoconstrucción, orientada al mundo rural, en la cual los individuos (propietarios o no) construyeran sus viviendas mediante una supervisión técnica en manos de profesionales idóneos en la materia.
En conclusión podemos decir que todos los procedimientos experimentales térmicos realizados, indican y corroboran que el sistema constructivo de fardos de paja podría ser incorporado a la categoría de material constructivo, siendo avalado térmicamente por los ensayos expuestos, dejando en evidencia las desventajas térmicas que poseen otros materiales frente a ese sistema.

The European Straw Building Association is an independent European association, devoid of any profit making motive. The object of the Association is to promote and develop the use of straw, as a sustainable way of building in all the senses of the term “sustainable”: renewable, ecological, healthy, energy and climate efficient, social and economic.
The Association is a federation composed of organisations and people particularly concerned with the use of straw in buildings.
