Designed to be very fire resistant
Designed to be very fire resistant and energy efficient. Straw bale construction by its very nature is fire resistant. In addition, all of the exterior framing is constructed with heavy gauge steel and the upper wood construction is protected with two inches of mineral wool insulation. A single mini-split heat pump provides enough heating and cooling for the entire building.
