[GSBN] Legalizing Structural Cob

Wed Apr 25 17:41:41 UTC 2018

Hi Mark

I am involved in a European research project called ‘CobBauge’ looking at optimising cob to comply with UK and French building regulations. The project is in an early stage, so we have no definitive results yet – we are currently testing different mixes for their thermal performance. Drop me a line, or follow CobBauge on social media for updates.

Regards

Jim

Subject: [GSBN] Legalizing Structural Cob

Hi GSBN,

This is Mark Lakeman, a member of both City Repair and communitecture in Portland. We are taking a run at submitting a structural cob proposal to Portland's Alternative Technology Approval Committee, and finally getting this done and into the code. Does anyone in the GSBN have some leads for us that would help with this project?

I've been told that New Zealand may have some good material for us to start with. Any other ideas beyond that?

Thanks all,
Mark
