In his opening remarks, Chris Magwood describes himself as a “sustainable building omnivore” who built the 1st straw bale house in Ontario in 1997.

He summarized his knowledge in his book, Making Better Buildings, where he ranked building materials against a list of criteria, including the energy embodied in the building materials.
