That’s what researchers at the University of Bath will be testing this summer by constructing a “BaleHaus” made of prefabricated straw bale and hemp cladding panels on campus.
And people around the world will be able to watch its progress online via “Strawcam” from Monday 20 July. The BaleHaus website also features blogs, videos, photos and lots of other information about the project.
Straw is the ultimate environmentally-friendly building material since it is renewable and is a by-product of farming.
