Commercialization of Super-Insulated Buildings in Mongolia

The project goal was large-scale unsubsidized replication of super-insulated straw bale buildings (SBBs) in Mongolia. This was initially to be achieved through technical support, training, awareness raising and full funding of demonstration super-insulated SB (straw bale) primarily social service and institutional buildings (schools, kindergartens, health clinics, local government offices, etc). By project inception, this had been updated to include the promotion of other means of building super-insulation, and with a majority of the funding for building construction coming from beneficiary households, and demonstrating super-insulation directly in private housing - and not in social or institutional buildings.
