Dear All

I have  5 years temperature and humidity data on strawbale (not quite
passivhaus) house built in 2013, in Norfolk UK.

10 Onmisense (the monitoring system used by Association for Environmentally
Conscious Building in the UK)  sensors are built into the straw, plus
outside and  inside monitors.

 

The construction is primary timber frame, self loadbearing strawbale,
rendered outside in lime render and plastered inside in clay. 

 

I have been trying to find researcher or PhD student  who might want to use
data for research project, but because of the way university funding has
changed in the UK, I have not yet been sucessful.

 

I think the data informs our understanding of the way moisture moves through
the building fabric, and it would be interesting to do some exploratory
sampling on site to see how the condition of the straw correlates to the
data.

 

If anyone university based in Europe is interested to pick this up,  can you
contact me? 

 

yours

Fran Bradshaw
