Biopozitive, resource-saving technology of construction of low-rise buildings
Low-rise construction is one of the important areas providing the population with housing. Developing mainly outside large cities, low-rise construction solves many problems which are related to urbanization. Global trends in low-rise construction are characterized by increased resource efficiency at all stages from the production of building materials, construction technologies and construction to operation and disposal of the house after the end of the life cycle. Modern construction technologies make it possible to build energy-efficient and resource-saving houses, which significantly reduce the negative impact on the environment. For their exploitation, they consume many times less natural resources than conventional homes. One of these technologies is frame-straw construction. The article presents the positive aspects of straw housing construction, such as resource saving, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness. These problems are relevant for Russia. The technical characteristics of straw - the main building material used in straw housing construction are given. The technology of construction using straw bales is described. A thorough study of this technology will help to clarify and popularize straw housing among the population, attracting its economy of construction and energy and resource efficiency.
