[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Concrete is expensive. It has terrible ecological impact. It's not very insulating, so you'd still have to insulate it, so the walls would have to be very thick. A properly built wood house has few problems. [/quote] Not true at all. Concrete homes are way better insulated than homes built with wood and walls. You will save as much as 30% in energy in a concrete home. [/quote] So tell us, oh building science master, what is the typical wall r-value for a concrete house? And what is code minimum in the US?[/quote] Tell me you’ve never heard about ICF without telling me you’ve never heard about ICF.[/quote]
