Great to see you (and everyone else) at the Natural Building Colloquium at Catherine Wanek’s Black Range Lodge in New Mexico in October.<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>
