HOUSES OF STRAW: GROWING BUILDINGS SUSTAINABLY

How can we construct low-carbon climate-resilient buildings? Bio-based construction materials offer a range of solutions for both new build and, increasingly, for retrofitting our existing buildings too.

In this presentation Professor Pete Walker draws on his experience from over 25 years in research and development work at the University of Bath, including using straw bale, hemp, and cork, to outline a future for bio-based products in sustainable architecture. Pete is Climate Action Leader at the University of Bath.
