High-tech house walls

Modcell Straw Technology Company in Yorkshire, the UK is pursuing the technology of making straw walls.

The use of straw walls is both insulating and good insulation. This has great significance in saving energy and reducing emissions, because straw is often burned after harvest.

Modcell's engineers have thoroughly tested the handling of straw, so the straw has a reasonable dryness, and they also take into account the ignition factor for fire prevention.

According to this technology, the core of the wall is compacted with straw. The outer shell uses non-wood material to make the wall appear more diverse. Another advantage is that straw walls are affordable.

A community of 20 houses, with 35 adults and 8 children, has been formed and lives in straw houses . Residents pay the cheapest electricity bill anywhere, because they do not have to use much electricity in their daily life. Besides, the straw also makes the partitions without gaps so the use of air conditioners also consumes very little electricity.

ModCell is one of the first companies to produce large-scale carbon emission reduction products in the UK.
