This insulated straw bale house was entirely self-built. Earth and lime plaster protects the straw. The underfloor heating, integrated in the waxed concrete slab, is powered by a boiler insert and solar panels. A Canadian well ventilates the house. Buffer zones to the north and the orientation of the bay windows to the south reduce heating requirements.
