How Does the Cost of Straw Bale Construction Compare with Conventional Building?
A. Conventional building materials are non-renewable and the ecological cost is high. The financial cost is rising also, as fuel prices, manufacturing costs, and lumber-harvesting regulations continue to increase. Depending on your design and the number of amenities, building with straw bales can dramatically reduce the financial cost of your home or other building, while increasing its energy efficiency and decreasing its environmental impact.
