[GSBN] Strawcell wall

[Jacob Racusin]

Hi everyone,

New Frameworks has been developing the StrawCell system over the last few
years, and have done a series of build-outs with a few different
approaches. There are some considerations at play regarding moisture
management/vapor control given the high level of insulation, and detailing
will vary based on use case/interior environment, climate, etc. to ensure
low- or moderate-risk design, but we've been very happy with the system
thus far. Happy to discuss further, we consult on this system with builders
and designers, be in touch if you'd like to chat more.

Best of luck,
Jacob Racusin
