Dear Hannes,
I went to subscribe straight away, and was then
informed that I was allready.
I agree that subgroup technical research is a good
idea, provided it is active.... Anyway, could I receive all previously emails on
this subject?
With Samuel Courgey I am making a list
of all the SB resources we know of. Testings, books, etc.
Of course TLS is a
great source of info for us, but I'll be grateful to see/receive any info you
have that is not mentioned in TLS.
Bye,
Andre
Dear
Chug, dear Andre dear straw bale building community,
At
the esbn Gathering in April this year, we (GrAT = Center for Appropriate
Technology at the Vienna University of Technology) proposed to organise and to
host the subgroup technical research (tests and new constructions).
As a
first step we launched a mailing list for the subgroup, to focus the
discussion on testing and construction issues. This would allow us on the one
hand to discuss spezific issues in a smaller group of experts and on the other
hand the main mailing list will not be overloaded with very detailed
discussions.
This e-mail list is now redesigned and much easier to manage and to
use. Anyone who is interessted can susbcribe at
http://www.htu.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/esbn-techresearch
The second step was
to send the results of the esbn workshop on testing and new constructions to
the list members, those who subscribed at the gathering. This mail also
included a to-do-list concerning future testing and available test results.
These activities
were meant to bring up all available test results and certificates and to
prevent redundant research and testing. Unfortunately this message didn`t get
through.
Concerning the
question of Chug and the e-mail of André, I want to stress that we (GrAT) have
proposed to install and host this mailling list, because it was common sense at the gathering that such a platform for
specific discussions on tests and new constructions is necessary and would
support and spread strawbale building in Europe. We still believe, that such a
platform will support straw bale building and invite all straw bale building
experts to discuss tests and new constructions, to share information on
existing test results and to build up a data base of existing test
certificates.
What we cannot do is
to keep a mailing list alive, if nobody is using the list.
So I can only
repeat, that the offer is still available and the mailing list will be hosted
by us. So feel free to use it!!!
Best
regards
Hannes

Greetings bale believers,
I was wondering how the subgroup for testing
that formed after the European Gathering was coming along, as I am trying
to include some links on my website for test results.
Any help on testing and where to find info
would be nice.
Regards Chug.
P.S Keep spreading the
word!
