[Cob] cob and energy and codesTys Sniffen tys at ideamountain.comSat Sep 26 21:47:25 CDT 2009
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. Tys
