Case Study of the Straw Bale House

Abstract:

Straw is renewable material both from the ecological and environmental point of view. It is almost always available at construction sites. Straw is used mainly as filling thermal insulation in structures. This paper deals with design of a two-generation family house. The family house is located in the eastern Slovakia. There is the temperature zone -14 °C. The first goal of this project was to specify the optimal ratio between solid and glazed surfaces in distribution of the specific heat use for space heating. The second goal was to achieve the specific heat use for space heating lower than 15 kWh·m^-2·a^-1. The specific heat use for space heating has been calculated according to STN EN ISO 13 790 Energy performance of buildings. The project analysed forced ventilation with the heat recovery unit, orientation towards cardinal points, optimal ratio of glazed and solid surfaces of the designed house and their impact on energy performance of buildings. Individual parameters were mutually combined and required goal has been achieved. The specific heat use for space heating was less than 15 kWh·m^-2·a^-1 in 13 of the evaluated combinations.
