Sažetak
Environmental protection, pollution awareness, new regulations, bring traditional materials back to building. That includes both traditionalal building with stone, wood, brick, and some new methods and materials. Straw has been used for centuries but it's only recently that the methods of straw bale building became popular. A large number of tests have proved the qualities of straw as a material. There are several types of straw bale constructions: load bearing method (bales overtake the load of roof construction), post and beam method (bales simply act as insulation blocks), and a method of light frame construction (combination of the first two). The advantages of straw include the fact that it is environmentally friendly, cheap, easy to shape, and has high - quality insulation characteristics. Although baled straw satisfies building regulations, it still isn't a certified building material in Croatia. Germany is the first European country where it's legal to use straw as construction material.
