TRAILER "HOUSES OF STRAW - 10 YEARS LATER"
Filmmaker Heidi Snel and cameraman Malcolm St.Julian Bown take you on a journey through the German strawbale landscape..
10 years after the first film they made on strawbale building, they went on the road again, to visit strawbale buildings.
Watching the film, we travel with them, visiting strawbale homes that were built 10 years ago, when the first film was done. We find out: did these strawbale houses prove in practice?
Then, on new building sites, we can see which new buildings get built and what the new building techniques are. We hear about the new, certified building product "Building Bales", and we visit the first course of students of the first official strawbale building training. Finally, we can watch the building of the biggest strawbale building in Germany, with 5 storeys!
Strawbales have become a serious alternative in ecological building. They are healthy, and save our climate in many ways: straw stores carbon dioxide, it is extremely energy-low in production, and it has very good insulation values.
It's a wood structure with straw insulation
Looks terrific!
Very good Thanks.
This is awesome!
Thanks :-))
Local material, co2, ecological... why no-one mention the improved air quality, human-like humidity indoor?
nice tune
at the 36 second mark, are they mixing concrete with the straw? Where can I find more details on that specific 5-story build and the technique used?
The strawbales are usually covered in some sort of plaster, such as a cob or lime mixture.
it just a layer of regular cement plaster finish
I’m thinking about a metal frame house with hemp-crete insulation but hemp is EXPENSIVE. Straw bale is the other option.
Just do Timber frame be lot cheaper reckon?
Interesting way to use straw.
+savydude1 People used that many many years.
After ww2 concrete is coming.
all homes like this are better than concrete. cheaper, easier to maintain, looks better too.
What about fire breakout
@@aartivedi7142 fire is fire. Same as any other house fire
What did it cost? What does it cost to heat and to cool? What did they use for heating?
Your question is a bit like: what does a car cost? How much petrol does a car use? You can build a strawbale house from a little garden hut (500 Euros) up to big palaces (millions). I reccomend you watch the whole film on vimeo, then you´ll know more!
ecofilm , Comparisons, bud, comparisons! R value, etc. Your attitude sucks. Dollars to doughnuts, I have built more than you have.
Elizarobin, no need to become insulting. It simply is as it is. You want easy answers, but I am serious with these issues so I cannot deliver that. Because when you build a house there are thousands of factors that play a role and decicions to make which all have different consequences on the price. If you have built homes, you must know that. The raw building is never what makes a house expensive. So if you use bricks or straw for the walls won´t make a big difference in price. It´s the heating, the water system, the modern kitchen you build in, the Italian tiles - thousands of interior details that make the price high or low.
What I CAN tell you is that if you build your strawbale house with professional building enterprises, it won´t be cheaper than a usual home. Usually, it is even a bit more expensive because of the responsible decicions those house owners make: often they won´t go for the cheap floor materials but go for wooden floors, adobe walls (which are cost-intensive because it´s much work) etc.
You CAN save by building a lot yourself - but that´s the case with any other material. Only that many strawbale house owners often have the inspiration and curiosity to do that.
About your heating question: most strawbale house owners decide for a sustainable regional heating solution, that is a central heating with wood (not oil or gas). And YES, here I can tell you that you can save A LOT on heating, because strawbales can insulate really well - if well built in and well finalized. But here again, how much you save depends different factors. I have seen a huge house in the mountains in Switzerland, made of big bales (1 mtr thick) that doesn´t need a heating at all. But: the sun shines every 3 or 4 days and they use a lot of passive solar heating like that.
Most houses do have a heating system but have much lower heating costs than before.

@@elizarobinrobinson4294 dollars to donuts, your attitude sucks. Pot calling the kettle black.
The way these guys do it, there is an awful lot of wood lumber used in these strawbale houses.
permaculture anyone
It is great, but do not use cement mixtures, it will stop the breathing of the walls and kind of dismiss the idea of ecological building
Clay is used..rice husk.lemon peels
50 bucs for materials and 300 thou for equipment, but sooooooooooooooo eco friendly.
Low cost straw bale housing exits, but you are trading a lower cost for a lot more in sweat. Standard homes aren't exactly without the use of spendy equipment. So ... how much $$$ in equipment does it take to be able to properly excavate a hole for a foundation (cats and bulldozers...) and then put in several different grades of gravel (smaller as you go up) with sand on the top to create a proper drainage area well past the drip line of the house? How much does it cost to own a cement mixer to pour the foundation?
How much special ditch digging equipment is needed to put in the drain field for the septic? How about the cost of the semis that haul the lumber, pipes, windows, bricks, lino, tile, carpet and concrete blocks to the house?
I've heard many problems with this, water getting into the straw and rotting, bugs getting into the straw and colonizing, fire problems, because the straw is flammable even though there is a fireproof barrier , a wire inside or a place where a problem happens and the smoldering is inside with no way to stop it.
I was thinking sa!ewater leakage roof top!!pipe repair!!fire short circuit but pple said we r using led!!!!is that safer
Little info on experiences over the 10 years. Does not make much sense to me.
That´s because it´s a TRAILER to a long film which has A LOT of info on experiences over the last 10 years.
Don't trust Olaf....he lies.
??????
I believe him!
Massive industrial inputs,, heavy equipment,, concrete,, not impressed.
I would imagine they're using cob rather than concrete?
Absolutely nothing new. Technology came from the Middle Ages. So eh big effing deal.
hmmmmm go more back in time. African tribes use straw and clay to built their huts to give an idea how far back you have to go.
Absolutely nothing new. Another worthless trolling. So eh big effing deal.
bet you're fun at parties...
