[GSBN] New website: Straw Bale Buildings of Ontario

[Kelly Lerner]

Hi Peter,
I'm currently taking the Passive House Consultant training in the US and I was just looking at the SB values in their certification tool (PHPP) and thinking that they seemed a little low. Could you please send me copy of or link to your certified test so that I can pass that along to PHI US? Thanks,

Kelly
