As a </div> <div>result of the literature search carried out towards this aim, the information obtained and the research findings were </div> <div>evaluated together. As a result, hay bales and land consolidation house construction, the calculations and evaluations </div> <div>made on the sample project show that the straw house construction is completed in a shorter time, the cost is lower </div> <div>and the heat efficiency is higher. Calculations made on the straw bale sample house project reveal that the straw </div> <div>house is more economical and energy-saving, so it can be preferred to the house. </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Yildiz Technical University}
