CEBs in a Humid Climate

• This paper states that high humidity may swell and eventually degrade unstabilized CEBs. That has not been our experience in Maysville, Missouri, where unstabilized structures built in 2011 show zero erosion due to humidity - for example the HabLab interior walls and the Workshop interior and exterior walls where they are protected from rain by overhangs. [1]
• Paper also says that stabilization addresses such degradation (sCEBs)
• To cure properly, moist environment is helpful - so a wetter climate is more suitable for producing stabilized CEBs than a dry climate.
