Thermal Conductivity of Straw Bales: Full Size Measurements Considering the Direction of the Heat Flow

The thermal conductivity of straw bales is an intensively discussed topic in the international straw bale community. Straw bales are, by nature, highly heterogeneous and porous. They can have a relatively large range of density and the baling process can influence the way the fibres are organised wi...
