Thank you! There's a little solar greenhouse at the nearby college that has a half wall on the back (N) side with straw between the boards. The top of that wall is open, ... I've wanted to something similar since I first saw that one! (Worth a solid N wall 😀
As he mentions, there's a white wash over the bales! The key with earth and straw building materials is a good foundation to insulate them from the ground, and good roof to keep the water off.
You never addressed the mold or moisture issue. I know they breath, and last for hundreds of years ( Well 200 for sure), the r factors are well known. They don’t burn and once sealed are not insect or rodent attractive. Please research the humidity and moisture and get back to the research as a green house please.

Great news for us, Rob, thanks again.
Rob, is the greenhouse design tool meant for personal use only? Or can it be used commercially?
Northbound Bloom, you can use it however you choose.
Hmmm, I didn't see one straw bale.
They are hidden in the wall.

I am interested in the building, not a talking head
