It was pointed out earlier that cob is a long shot due to the natural, i.e.,
not store-bought material nature of cob for codes. Then it was pointed out
that this discussion was about *energy* codes, not building codes. Energy,
meaning heating and cooling.
Interesting that they are two different things. I might want to argue that
by using natural, local material and doing it oneself saves oodles of energy
that other, perhaps higher R value homes don't even consider. Just a
thought.
