Shirehampton, Bristol, UK. 11th Feb, 2015. The first commercially available straw insulated houses go on sale in Bristol. The straw panels were developed by Modcell and the houses built by developer Connolly and Callaghan. The houses meet the Q Mark Certification standard, so they are now eligible for insurance and mortgages. The insulation properties of straw are very high so heating costs will be very low. Bristol is European Green Capital for 2015. Credit: Mr Standfast/Alamy Live News
