    Hi
    Sorry if this has been done before but I am interested to know if anyone has air tested any straw bail house and what sort of figures they are coming out at. I am looking to design a Code level 4 house using straw but am concerned that that the air pressure test will not be up to scratch. I was intending to use bail and then cover then with Lime.

    Straw bale houses should use very tightly compressed bales with a well covered 1 1/2 to 2 inch lime render covering, therefore any concerns about air pressure would be, as with any other house, where the building material meets/joins the windows, doors, posts, etc
