[GSBN] Straw bale building in tropical areas

[Bill Christensen]

Hi Noé, et al,

Over the years I've become a fan of the concept of passive 
sustainability:  specifically, what happens to the building when power 
and mechanical systems such as air conditioning fail?

In the wall described below, you're creating a dependence on the air 
conditioning system, and therefore setting yourself up for potential 
wall failure if the A/C goes down for an extended period, whether due to 
something as simple as financial constraints or as extensive as global 
apocalypse.

Better to build without such dependencies whenever possible.
