In part 1 of our series on a Net-Zero Straw Bale Dream Home we meet Lance and Wendy Olson as they were building their straw bale home.

They wanted to downsize, reduce their footprint and build the most energy efficient home they could.

After a lot of research they landed on the idea of building a straw bale home. But they didn't stop there, this straw bale home has loads of innovative features in it from the rammed Earth walls, to solar thermal heating and solar PV for electricity.

Their goal was to reach net-zero.

We were there when the Olsons worked with partners at SAIT and Habib Gonzalez, the guru of straw bale building in Canada.

In part one we see how the home is built and some of the unique features of this amazing and sustainable homes.
