Cob: Insulation

[Patrick Newberry]

My dome here in Middle Georgia is the coolest spot on the property. My 
dogs go there when the days get hot. The key for us is to keep direct 
sun off the walls (wide overhangs). I work on a negative pasive solar 
principle. The walls are about 14 inches thick, while the roof is a 
fero-cement shell, with a sky light at the top. So yes, cob will work 
just fine in the old south!
