Wall Assembly

4 Layers

Inside Layers

Natural diffusion open finish with humidity and temperature regulation for comfort (inside use only, applied directly on straw)

Core Structure (EcoCocon Panel)

Passive House certification restricted to 400mm

EcoCocon straw panel certified for Passive House standard

✓ Passive House Certified already includes the timber structure.
