                    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>
