Isn't it? Well, I should think straw bale would be effective. I am led to believe the thickness of the walls insulates the interior temperature. If the house was heated to 18 degrees and it was 3 degrees outside, I would think it would take a great deal of time, after turning the heat off, for osmosis to even the inside temperature with outdoors. At least, that's what I'm led to think. There are people in Oregon who've built them and live in them. If I had enough land, I'd experiment with an art studio in the back yard built in straw bale -- just to see if it works for long term.
