<title>Thermal resistance test reports for strawbale walls</title>
<div>
<font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:9pt">Hello all,<br>
<br>
I and fellow GSBN members Nehemiah Stone and David Eisenberg are seeking thermal resistance test data/reports. We are already aware of the following U.S. tests:<br>
<br>
McCabe, et al – 1993<br>
Sandia Labs - 1994<br>
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) – 1996 and 1998<br>
<br>
We are also aware of the following test outside the U.S.:<br>
<br>
Vienna Univ. of Technology – R.Wimmer, et al<br>
<br>
The purpose of our search is to re-evaluate the thermal resistance properties stated in the current Strawbale Construction appendix in the 2015 International Residential Code (which is based on the second ORNL test).<br>
<br>
Any reports or links to reports are greatly appreciated. <br>
<br>
Thanks, and a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year to all !<br>
<br>
Martin Hammer<br>
