Join the CCNet Renewable Energy Group for a tour of Urbanas Straw Bale House
Beauty and sustainability combine in Urbanas first straw bale house. Come learn about
how straw bales were used to create an energy-efficient home.
Salvaged flooring and slate are among the reused materials seen throughout. Clay paints
and sustainably harvested wood combine with its other environmentally sound features
for an appealing, earth-friendly home. The basement houses the offices of New Prairie
Construction, which built the home.
