Description
This design manual for practicing professionals draws on the collective experience of the most senior and respected figures in the rapidly-emerging field of straw bale construction. Providing truly useful information to architects, engineers, building officials and builders who want to design intelligently with plastered straw bales, don't just take our word for it - hear it from the professionals:-
"This authoritative source of information on the technology of straw bale building is long overdue, and raises both the art and science of low impact building to a new level."
-Tom Woolley, Professor of Architecture, Queen's University, Belfast, author of Natural Building and The Green Building Handbook
"Bruce King is a pioneer for environmentally-friendly construction and has a skill for writing about engineering concepts in a way that makes them accessible to a wide audience. His previous books have become essential references, and I am sure this well-structured volume will become the standard reference for straw bale construction."
Hugh Morris, Primary author, New Zealand Earth Building Standards, Senior Tutor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, New Zealand
"Design of Straw Bale Buildings provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art guidance, including structural performance, moisture control, fire resistance and durability. It is a must-read book for anyone considering designing, building, assessing, or simply living in a straw bale building. Yet another excellent publication from Bruce King and Green Building Press."
Prof. Peter Walker, Director BRE Centre in Innovative Construction Materials, University of Bath, UK.
