Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition

The Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition (OSBBC) was formed to serve several purposes: To provide information for people with an interest in building and/or owning a straw bale home. These services include general information, training courses, providing testing data for building designers and building inspectors, and referrals to experienced builders and designers. To initiate and support efforts to further the base of knowledge about straw bale building, including studies and tests leading to the building code acceptance of straw bale building techniques. To foster a community of builders and owners involved in straw bale building to promote the exchange of ideas, resources, and social opportunities.
