Last ESBG event (2023) there was a presentation about a public swimming pool, retrofitted with straw.
At this year’s #ESBG2025 META2020 will demonstrate, again, how 80% of energy savings will be made using straw as a construction material to retrofit their site.

The UK still lacks regulation on #embodiedcarbon & #biobased materials are left out of policy, finance & scale.

You don’t need to believe in #biophilia or understand it to value comfort, air quality, & low bills.
Straw & other biobased building materials are not alternatives - they are fundamentals.
Good materials speak for themselves.
