Healthy Homes from natural materials, inspired by the simplicity of the past

Learn how using natural materials can create healthy living and working environments with excellent indoor air quality, that are cosy, delightful and easy to heat. This talk focuses on building with straw, either in the artisan way as a self/community build, or with pre-fabricated panels for speed. It will show you the range of what is possible with this traditional material, as it has been adapted for 21st century living. You will find out why there are no mould or condensation problems in these houses, how you can build completely without cement (even the foundations), how they can reach Passive House standards, and why their owners love them so much!
