[Cob] cob and energy and codes

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.
