Full Title - Made-in-Alberta - Chapter 10: Ep. 1 "Straw Bale House"

Straw Bale House
Albertans are building straw-bale houses to achieve R40 from mostly natural, locally sourced materials.

Eco-Building
Environmentally friendly buildings enhance the collection and storage of heat and light, making the need for purchased energy almost nil. New materials and design strategies are being innovated right here in Alberta.
What will the homes and public buildings of the future look like?

Made-in-Alberta
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, many Albertans are finding new energy solutions. Made-in-Alberta brings their stories to community television and the world wide web with this innovative new series.
