Passivhaus-certified straw homes claimed to cut fuel bills by 90 percent. A house made from straw didn't work out so well in The Three Little Pigs, but maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.
Sustainable building firm BaleHaus recently unveiled a number of new energy-efficient Passivhaus-certified homes that feature a prefabricated straw insulation system, and promise a heating bill 90 percent lower than that of an average home. View all BaleHaus is a group comprised of three firms: Cadan Developments, ModCell (responsible for the straw insulation), and White Design. The homes completed so far come in a number of shapes and sizes, including three-bedroom terraced townhouses and one-bedroom apartments, proving the versatility of the straw building system. The sustainable technology installed in the homes varies greatly too, and includes roof-based photovoltaic arrays in several sizes, rainwater harvesting, and air-source heat pumps. Perhaps more significant than the completed houses is the actual ModCell system of insulation itself. Source: ModCell Share. Wipe your eyes. On your feet. By Robin McAlpine The rebellion: Phase Two There will be a time to put in words how I feel now.
There will be a time for me to discuss what I think we should have done differently to win. There will most certainly be a time (when the pain subsides) in which I will celebrate who we became in these two years, to memorialise the countless heroes of our failed revolution who changed my life and who changed Scotland. This minute, this grey Friday, I just want to list what we need to do next. One: we must precisely design our goal The comforting glory of a binary decision is that you don’t need to think about what you want to achieve.
And in case this needs said, I am bound by no gentlemen’s agreement by two wealthy men on when the people of Scotland have a right to decide on their destiny again.
