Post-occupancy insights from a real straw panel home – energy, comfort, and lessons learned
What happens after the build is complete? In this recent webinar, architect Annie Benton shares in-depth insights into a live post-occupancy evaluation of her Ecococon straw panel home.
From energy use and thermal comfort to indoor air quality, Annie takes us through the real-world performance data – offering a rare and valuable look at how a natural material home operates day to day.
This session is essential viewing for architects, builders, housing professionals, and anyone curious about the lived experience of straw buildings.
