Popis: Technological developments have a great effect on the environment. As a result, it is of much importance to analyse the impact of environment on our lifestyle. As aspects of life, people choose to live in environment-friendly houses. We can utilize our own resources to build these kinds of innovative structures. One such kind of renewable resource has been presented here in this work. India is an agriculture-based country. Straws are produced after harvesting the rice paddy. These strokes are either fired or plucked back to soil to create toxic gases as a black cloud of carbon that causes different diseases for live entities. In addition, burning these straws does not necessarily consume all materials as rapidly as possible, filling the air with gaseous and particulate contaminants and the soil. Ploughing them into the field is also not an efficient way of disposing them. Straw housing could be one of India’s best approaches, where agriculture remains the main source of revenue, and straw production is enormous. Straw bale construction can be one of the best choices because of the large cost-effective attributes of renewable energy resources with good thermal strength, low weight and eco-friendly design. We could use multiple manufacturing processes, such as load bearing stroke or non-charge bearing construction, depending upon the needs. Straw bale design may be one of the best options for constructing a stable economic building.
