Dear Jure, Michel and all other non-loadberaing builders
In my workshops I have listed 7 (8) different non-loadbearing-
systems, which
are used in Austria and – as far as I know – in Europe:
1) exterior strawbale-wall with direct plaster on the outside,
construction
inside
typical example:
http://www.baubiologie.at/europe/austria/austria.html?id=280
2) system S-house, which is nearly 1) but with big bales on the
outside and
a ventilated wooden facade, fixed with special screws
http://www.baubiologie.at/europe/austria/austria.html?id=282
3) interior strawbale-wall (normally directly plastered on the
inside) with
an outside construction (wood or plaster on plaster-boards)
4) system GREB (France), as can be seen detailed on french websites
5) CST-system (Cellule Sous Tensions) by Tom Rijven, as is described
in his
book (Between Earth and Straw) and on his website
6) StrohTec-system, which we established in 1999 and was built in
Austria
and Germany more than 100times the last ten years in variations, a
classical
infill-system, strawbales between posts, covered with structural
boards or
diagonal wood on both sides of the posts/beams
typical example:
http://www.baubiologie.at/europe/austria/austria.html?id=120
or
http://www.baubiologie.at/europe/austria/austria.html?id=268
7) a new modular system called system|haus|bau, which we developed
last year
as you can see on:
http://www.systemhausbau.at
or
http://www.baubiologie.at/europe/austria/austria.html?id=309
8) The Modcell-system in UK is another modular system, which uses
cellulose
or strawbale as an infill-insulation-material, but there are not many
details available...

Hello Everyone,
The question of Jure about post and beam is worth posting again.
As a builder in the near future I am also looking for answers.
As far as I know there are basically 2 post and beam methods for
building with
bales within the non-load bearing method.
Or as infill, like an adapted Segal method, or as they do like S-
house in
Austria; enclosing the timber structure with boards and stag the
bales around
the house in a running bond.
I would not like to have a board inside the house to plaster. It
does not
function like a strawbale for indoor climate, is more costly etc...
Most of us are interested in strawbale building but we are not
architects,
contractors etc... just people who want to build this way and look
for the
right people to assist, advise.
Here in Slovenia such buildings are almost not existing and if,
they are done
without much experience.
How could we have more information, that we could pass on to an
architect
without strawbale experience?
Are there plans available that can be adapted?
Is there maybe "post and beam software" available for strawbale
building that
could be used by a local architect?
Or we could maybe use an architect from abroad, just to make the
basic plans
and have the other plans (construction plans for electrician,
plumber etc..)
done by a local one.
In any case, here in Slovenia we need more then one architect to
build a
house. The other we must use to do the engineering plans to get
approval.
If there are professionals, architects, or people out there with
experience
that could advise, please do, we would be very grateful.
With greetings from Slovenia,
Michel.
