Straw bale thermal insulation: Paris Habitat commissions Apave

Just 2 km from the Eiffel Tower, in the heart of the capital, there is a construction site, which to say the least is original. ETI, External thermal insulation uses straw. Paris Habitat is the project owner.

The social landlord has chosen to use this material to insulate a building which is almost a century old. Indeed, used as insulation, straw bales contribute to very low energy consumption in winter and comfort in summer.

Apave was chosen to guard against the technical uncertainties of this project and monitor regulatory compliance.
