Abstract

In this study, a sample project prepared for the construction of straw bale brick masonry; work time, cost, material
and heat efficiency evaluations were made to compare straw home and brick masonry house construction. As a
result of the literature search carried out towards this aim, the information obtained and the research findings were
evaluated together. As a result, hay bales and land consolidation house construction, the calculations and evaluations
made on the sample project show that the straw house construction is completed in a shorter time, the cost is lower
and the heat efficiency is higher. Calculations made on the straw bale sample house project reveal that the straw
house is more economical and energy-saving, so it can be preferred to the house.
