Before revision: Compressed and plastered straw bale walls are also resistant to fire.
After revision: In common with most building materials, there is a degree of uncertainty in the thermal conductivity due to the influences of temperature, moisture content and density; however, from evaluation of a range of the literature and experimental data, a value of 0.064 W/m·K is regarded as a representative design value for straw bales at the densities used in building constructionCompressed and plastered straw bale walls are also resistant to fire.
