Francia
French straw-building network bringing together professionals, self-builders and researchers to promote and standardise the use of straw as a building material. It drew up the professional rules for straw construction, recognised in France, and offers training and certification for professionals. It matters for decarbonising construction because straw is a local agricultural by-product that insulates very well and stores carbon, and the RFCP provides the technical framework that allows it to be used with guarantees in regulated building work.
Why we chose it
Because it gave a technical framework to straw, a local insulation material that stores carbon, for use in regulated building work.
