ABSTRACT:
A reinforced stucco panel and straw insulator wall assembly includes a plurality of straw bales, a vertical column of rigid material, a layer of fabric, a plurality of screens, a footing section, a bond-beam form and a layer of reinforced mortar. The straw bales are stacked. The column includes concrete and a reinforcement rod. The concrete fills aligned vertical channels of the straw bales. The reinforcement rod is disposed in the channels and embedded by the concrete. The fabric of a substantially air-permeable material is attached to the stacked straw bales and disposed on vertical sides of the straw bales forming exterior and interior surfaces of the building employing the wall assembly. Each screen overlies and caps a top end of one of the straw bales and intersects the channels and defines an opening aligned with the channels and allows passage of the reinforcement rod. The layer of reinforced mortar includes a layer of reinforcing screen netting attached to ends of the screens projecting from between the bales. The footing section includes a slab of concrete and a stub rod. The stub rod is embedded by the concrete of the column and footing section. The assembly also includes a vertical pressure treated board, a vertical foam insulation board and a pair of upper and lower horizontal tie boards which function with the footing section to support the wall assembly. The bond-beam form secures the wall assembly.
