[Strawbale] certification of straw bales

[Sebastien Hubert]

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
