Any guesses what these are?
Straw panels that will be used by Earth Bound Homes to build a house in the Bay Area.
Yes, straw—but unlike the “Three Little Piggy’s” no one will come along and huff and puff and blow this house down.
EcoCocon straw panels offer a sustainable alternative to standard building construction.
The result is prefabricated panels made with unprocessed wood and straw with no added chemicals for a healthier safer product. It’s an eco-friendly and sustainable solution that takes very little energy to produce. EcoCocon uses straw, a byproduct of wheat production that would have been discarded, to help reduce waste.
The straw insulation also has 3 added benefits:
-
- It creates thermal comfort, naturally keeps the interior temperature warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
-
- Straw resists sound, and these panels provide acoustic comfort, reducing outside noise by 54 dB—making an air conditioning unit sound like a whisper.
-
- Cost savings! Reducing material costs and installation time makes the straw panels more affordable.
Earth Bound Homes is a San Jose company focused on “Building a Better Way”. Building efficient, luxurious and low maintenance homes that are a healthier place to live.
All Reasons partners with Earth Bound to receive, store, and deliver these panels to the project as needed. We are very excited to see this project come together and hope to post pictures later as the project progresses
