Wall Assembly

1 Layers

Inside Layers

No inside layers. Click "Add Layer" to add gypsum, plaster, etc.

Core Structure (EcoCocon Panel)

Select core thickness from 300mm to 400mm (10mm increments)

(λ = W/mK)

10.0% (default)

Timber (0.130)

10.0%

Straw ()

90.0%

Blended λ

0.0000

Adjust the timber percentage to blend timber (0.130 W/m·K) with straw. Higher timber content reduces thermal performance but may improve structural properties.

Wall Configuration

Core thickness: 400mm

Additional thickness (straw overhang): 12mm (6mm each side)

Total core thickness: 412mm

Effective core lambda: 0.0000 W/m·K

Outside Layers

No outside layers. Click "Add Layer" to add wood fibre, OSB, etc.
