DESCRIPTION
Why seeking for complex and costly materials to find so-called sustainable solutions to cut energy consumptions and minimize the impact on the environment? Let's ask Nature, but let's adapt it to the Engineering Standards for Safety, Comfort and Modern Lifestyle. Aster Solutions Ltd Team designed and supervised the works for buildings and villas built with Wood and Straw bales. Of course everything has been concieved to accomodate for electromechanical plants, technological systems and the most advance technologies. The heat in the wintertime and the cool in the summertime is guaranteed by the staw bales, the seismic resistance by the wooden structure and everything is protected by natural plaster and paint. The energy consumption is minimal and the comfort is maximised by Nature, together with Health. Aster Solutions works with various architects that find this construction technique as flexible as the traditional techniques, but with a real added value. Moreover, it's cheaper to build and easy to maintain. Our practical experience on paper and field makes Aster Solutions a strong player in the sustainable construction business in general, and in the straw bale technique in particular. This technique can be succesfully applied to residential buildings, as a full construction or a energy-optimization cover of the existing, for commercial buildings and for enjoying the great comfort in touristic resorts. Contact us for more information and most of all to plan a new way of investing in real estate, sustainable and reliable real estate!

“Sustainable approach can bring to a
creative solution”
Why Straw bale houses?Reason #1 Energy Efficiency.• A well built straw bale home can save you up to 75% on heating and cooling costs.
Reason #2 Sound Proofing. • Straw bale walls provide excellent sound insulation and are superior wall systems for home owners looking to block
out the sounds of traffic or airplanes in urban environments.
Reason # 3 Fire resistance. • Straw bale homes have roughly three times the fire resistance of conventional homes. Dense bales mean limited
oxygen which in turn means no flames. (REI90)
Reason # 4 Environmental responsibility. • Building with straw helps the planet in many ways. For example, straw is a waste product that is either burned or
composted in standing water. By using the straw instead of eliminating it, we reduce either air pollution or water consumption, both of which impact the environment in general.
Reason #5 Natural Materials
• The use of straw as insulation means that the standard insulation materials are removed from the home. Standard fiberglass insulation has formaldehyde in it, a known carcinogen. Bale walls also eliminate the use of plywood in the walls. Plywood contains unhealthy glues that can off-gas into the house over time. Straw =0.04-0.06 W/mK
Reason #6 Fast construction
• Straw bale house can grow up very quickly

NEBRASKA-STYLE WALL
• The bales themselves take the weight of the roof -
there is no other structural framework
• They are placed together like giant building blocks,
pinned to the foundations and to each other with
coppiced hazel, and have a wooden roof plate on
top
• Openings must be as small as possible

A new building system from Austria:
• Austrian prefabrication system that combines the traditional
building techniques to the straw material.
• Prefab straw walls are assembled in the factory and made of
wood with vertical portals placed at fixed distance and fixed
to sleepers diagonals.
• The panels can be supplied with straw or just with the wood
structure, so to allow the manufacturer to complete the work

takes the advantage of the insulating capacity of the straw to
make courtain insulation.
This system is very economical but has the negative aspect of
a strong thickening of the perimetral wall.The new straw courtain must be firmly attached to the existing
building in order to avoid convective phenomena.

Light frame
PIONEERED BY BARBARA JONES
• It uses a timber framework that is so light-weight
that it cannot stand up alone.
• It requires temporary bracing to give it stability until
the straw is in place.
• The straw is an essential part of the structural
integrity of the building and it works together with
the timber to carry the load of floors and roof.

Ing. Claudio Di Taddeo - Aster s.r.l. Società di ingegneriaSTRAW BALE HOUSES
Post and beam/timber frame• In this method, the weight of the roof is carried by a
wood, concrete framework, and the bales are
simply infill insulation blocks between the posts.

system utilized to reinforce
building structures in which
diagonal supports intersect.
"Cross bracing can increase
a building’s capability to
withstand seismic forces
from an earthquake."
(Check source) The cross
bracing is usually seen with
two diagonal supports
placed in a X shaped
manner; these supports
withstand only tension.
