Nous présentons donc dans ce papier une nouvelle contribution scientifique en proposant un nouveau matériau d’isolation thermique, composé de paille céréalière, de chaux hydraulique et aérienne. Ce travail s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche « PROMETHE » financé par la région centre (France). Une investigation sur l’élaboration, les propriétés hydriques des fibres, mécaniques et thermiques du matériau sera présentée dans les différentes sections ci-dessous.

In this paper, we present a new scientific contribution by offering a new thermal insulation material made of cereal straw, hydraulic and air lime. This work is part of a program research project “PROMETHE” funded by the Centre region (France). An investigation on the elaboration, the hydrous properties of the fibres, mechanical and The thermal properties of the material will be presented in the various sections below.

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.
