Kevin McCloud opens the BaleHaus@Bath at the University of Bath

Kevin McCloud officially opened the BaleHaus@Bath, the house made of straw bale panels built on the University of Bath's campus, on 19 November. The BaleHaus will be monitored by researchers from the University's Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering to assess straw as an environmentally-friendly building material. Some of the panels in the house were originally used in a house that Kevin built for the Grand Designs Live Exhibition. Kevin spoke about the use of straw bales as building materials and how research data is needed to encourage the mainstream use of these renewable building materials.
