U2-Infill and prefabKnowledge

  • Trainees know the tools and machines used in the straw bale construction sites.
  • Trainees know the possible dangers, safe working practices, accident prevention regulations and security data sheets.
  • Trainees know specific problems of straw bale building site organization. [Level 4]
  • Trainees can read and understand architectural plans and construction drawings.
  • Trainees know different structural options and infill methods. [Level 4]
  • Trainees know that it is necessary to fix the bales and know the different technologies to do it.
  • Trainees know how to cut the bales, when required.
  • Trainees know that it is necessary to compress built-in bales and the different technologies to do it.
  • Trainees can assess and select the optimum method of infill or prefabrication according to time, schedule, budget, resources and site requirements. [Level 4]
  • Trainees have knowledge about prefabrication, its specific features of planning, its advantages and disadvantages. [Level 4]

Skills

  • Trainees can handle tools and machines which are used in straw bale construction.
  • Trainees can estimate the dangers and can avoid it.
  • Trainees can execute different Infill construction methods, adjust the bale when required, and use different compression-, stabilization- and fixing techniques.
  • Trainees can organize and do the work in time. [Level 4]
  • Trainees can calculate the building costs (material, working hours). [Level 4]
  • Trainees can use infill technique to prefabricate straw bale elements and adapt the element structure to a draught.

Competences

  • Be aware of health and safety in relation to other workers, building site, machinery, equipment, PPE (personal protective equipment) and of issues specific to working with straw and straw bales.
  • Trainees organize the building site at all stages. [Level 4]
  • Trainees are able to explain different examples of infill- and prefabrication techniques, making reference to advantages and disadvantages of each. [Level 4]
