Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition

The Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition (OSBBC) was formed to serve several purposes:

– To provide information for people with an interest in building and/or owning a straw bale home. These services include general information, facilitating training courses, and providing testing data for building designers and building inspectors.
– To initiate and support efforts to further the base of knowledge about straw bale building, including studies and tests leading to the building code acceptance of straw bale building techniques.
– To foster a community of builders and owners involved in straw bale building to promote the exchange of ideas, resources, and social opportunities.
