on the thermal and sound insulation straw is a great even better than the isolates used in building insulation. the bad thing is you need certain requirements for straw does not degenerate over time, humidity etc

in Germany was tested fire resistance of a wall of straw. The test consisted in raising the temperature inside the wall slowly up to 1000 degrees Celsius to watch the wall behaves.
I spent 30 minutes inside wall is 800 degrees Celsius when the outer wall is at a temperature between 35 ° c

There are also other systems to heat your home with the energy of the sun or the earth such as a Trombe wall or a Canadian well tapping geothermal energy.
