[Strawbale] certification of straw bales

[Piet Jensen]

Herbert, in Norway there are no special rules for SB. If you follow the tec-standards and you take the responsibility for the result, you can allmost build whatever you want.    All the best    Piet

Hello Herbert,

Here is an answer for belgium :

1.  We are allowed to build one family houses with normal uncertified straw bales.  Altough in the future it will be more difficult because the insulating standards are getting better and better.

2.  I don't know the status for public buildings...

3.  It is also possible to insulate existing buildings with uncertified bales.  The insulating standards for existing houses are lower than those for new houses.

Hope this can help you.

Cheers

  Dear Balers in Europe 

  As we have troubles with building officials (esp. in Lower Austria), who want only certified building-balles in buildings,
  even when you insulate a roof or ceiling to a roof in an existing building (without any funding or banque-credits),
  I would like to know, what the actual situation is in your country:

  So I have only 3 short questions (your answer would help me very much):

  1) Is it allowed to build one-family-houses with normal uncertified straw bales in your country?

  2) Is it allowed to build official buildings (e.g. museums, schools,...) with non-certified bales?

  3) Is it allowed to insulate an existing building (without an official plan) with non-certified bales in your country?

  all the best / thank you for answers:-)
