Hello Herbert,<br>
<br>
Here is an answer for belgium :<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
2. I don't know the status for public buildings...<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Hope this can help you.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>

<div>As we have troubles with building officials (esp. in Lower
Austria), who want only certified building-balles in
buildings,</div>
<div>even when you insulate a roof or ceiling to a roof in an
existing building (without any funding or banque-credits),</div>
<div>I would like to know, what the actual situation is in your
country:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I have only 3 short questions (your answer would help me
very much):</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Is it allowed to build one-family-houses with normal
uncertified straw bales in your country?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Is it allowed to build official buildings (e.g. museums,
schools,...) with non-certified bales?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) Is it allowed to insulate an existing building (without
an official plan) with non-certified bales in your country?</div>
